Poker podcast hosting record setting fundraiser

Posted by Steve Ruddock on Aug 09, 2012 Posted in PR | No Comments »

Poker has seen a number of “Ironman” records broken at the tables in the past few years, most notably Phil Laak’s consecutive-hour streak (which was recently broken yet again), but this time around it will be a poker podcast that goes for the record. Hosts of the Filthy Limper Radio show at VegasPokerRadio.com will attempt to break the record for the longest continuous podcast with the same hosts as they put on a 50+ hour podcast as part of a fundraiser for the 22Q.org Foundation.

The “Ironman” podcast, as it is being called, is set to kick-off on Monday, September 3rd, 2012 and will feature a number of guests from all different walks of life, including representatives of the 22Q.org foundation and other organizations dedicated to eradicating the syndrome, as well as a number of people from the poker world and friends of the show. The goal of the show, and its hosts Johnny Sep and Brandon Gerson, is to stay on the air for at least 50 hours setting a world record and more importantly raising awareness for the 22Q11.2 deletion which affects up to 1-in-2,000 children.

In a press release co-host Johnny Sep explained the purpose of the “Ironman” podcast, “We are hoping to do all we can to raise awareness of this serious syndrome that plagues so many children, and contribute whatever fundraising we can for the 22Q.org Foundation,”

The 22Q11.2 Deletion was only recently discovered, which means research, funding, and assistance for those afflicted is still in its infancy. Experts believe the syndrome is the second most common in children and because of the lack of awareness often goes undiagnosed or misdiagnosed. With bringing awareness one of their primary goals, the 22Q.org foundation is excited about the prospects of getting the message to the poker community and Vegas Poker Radio listeners.
