I’m finally sitting behind the computer again after wrapping up the Coverthon yesterday. 24 hours of covers, fantastic guests, a lively and hilarious chat room, and in-studio support from Tina, George, Tristan and a quick visit from my mom and Grandmother! And through it all, we raised $4150.18, half of which (after PayPal takes their chunk) will be going to Alzheimer’s Research. The other half will be used over the next year for various Coverville expenses, including licensing, equipment and software.
I wanted to extend an extra thank you to the great sponsors and guests who gave generously of their time, their products and services, and their hard-earned cash.
Thanks to the sponsors of the Coverthon:
- Clinton at Comedy4Cast
- Kelly at Viator.com
- Anonymous (R & 7)
And thanks to my fabulous guests:
- Len and Nora from Jawbone Radio & Geek A Week
- Scott and Eric from AppSlappy
- Nicole and Patrick from Movielicious
- Scott and Randy from The Instance
- Scott, Randy and Brian from FilmSack
- Tim and Michele from Five Hundy By Midnight
- Tom and Veronica from Sword & Laser
- Dave Lifton from Wings For Wheels
- Dan Klass from The Bitterest Pill
- Sebastiaan, who you can follow here
Thanks also to Nicole and Marc Spagnuolo, who were scheduled to be on together, but because of a time kerfuffle were left off. I’m inviting them onto an episode of Coverville as special guests, where we can talk about their excellent podcast and community, The Wood Whisperer.
And finally, and most importantly, I want to thank everyone who donated. There’s no question that the economy is hurting for a lot of people right now, and witnessing the generosity and positivity that everyone showed is a truly humbling experience. Whether you gave money or just your support, I thank you, Tina thanks you.
Was An Absolute Pleasure, And What A Worthy Cause! 😀
Scott, I missed the ’24 Coverville’ podcast. Will you produce the ’24 Coverville’ into a separate Pay-Per-Download Podcast for lister to download and to raise money for Coverville?

24 hours of Coverville was a blast. My kids and I really enjoyed the parts of the show we participated in! Congrats to you, Brian, for a wonderful event and for raising awareness and funds for a worthy cause.
I checked into the stream on and off through the evening/morning. As a listener, it was wonderful sharing the laughs and listening to all my favorite podcasters come and hang out. Also, LOVED the music! I really hope we see more of these types of things from either Coverville and/or Frogpants in general. Thanks for enduring the 24 hours!
I second mango. Love to listen and donate.
Really want to see the part where you shave your left eyebrow to pump up donations! Way to commit!
