Your Diabetes May Vary

Bennet Dunlap joins me this week to talk about raising two children with diabetes, what makes Disney a special place, his favorite Top Gear episodes, sports in Philadelphia and most importantly, the power of community support. I often stand on a soap box and sing high praises of what the diabetes online community is capable of, Bennet provides plenty of examples over the next hour of how a network of apparent strangers can make all the difference in the lives of the people you care about most. Oh, and there’s also some discussion about the shoes people wear at Disney World. You’ll have to listen to understand what that one is about. Enjoy.

Bennet blogs over at YDMV.net and tweets @BadShoe.

The final piece of the Marvel.com team has arrived on Episode 120 in the form of its Assistant Editor Marc Strom.

With the highly anticipated release of Marvel’s The Avengers this summer, Marc is a very busy man.

Quinn Speaks

Quinn Nystrom has led an eventful life. In 2002, she was selected as the National Youth Advocate for the American Diabetes Association. About a year ago she quit her job to speak about and advocate for diabetes awareness as a full time job – we get into the scary reality of both quitting a job and starting fresh. And this week she was my guest on Episode 119. Along with the diabetes advocacy talk we spend some time talking about diabetes on television, accents and woodwick candles. That last one was a surprise on multiple fronts but it was a great conversation. Enjoy.

Keep up with the latest in Quinn’s world on her website at quinnnystrom.com and on Twitter @QuinnNystrom.

May The Force Be With You

I had grand plans for Episode 118 featuring publicist Consetta Parker. I planned on talking about her career in PR, her motivations behind starting her own PR agency, Parker Publicity and hoped to get to Rancho Obi-Wan and the work done there. Instead we spent most of the podcast talking about the impact of Star Wars on her life and the lives of a generation of creative minds. Sure, we covered all those other topics (quite thoroughly too), but when you hear how passionately Consetta feels about the impact Star Wars had on her life, you’ll know I made the right decision in how the conversation evolved. Enjoy.

Check out Consetta’s work at Parker Publicity and be sure to see what Rancho Obi-Wan is all about too. If you’re a fan of Star Wars, this place needs to be on your bucket list.
