Social Media Podcast No.41 available now - Lots of Christmas banter and Edward Reid's single

Taking part in Social Media podcast Episode 41 we have Gordon White,  Kyle Murdoch Kirsty Hunter, and Iain Murray.  This is the "Christmas Episode" and, whilst we do go "off theme" once or twice, it is generally a Christmas edition.  There's the usual lively debate and a very special treat at the end - We have Britain's Got Talent's Edward Reid's Christmas Single recorded for Aberlour Child Care Trust.

We've put the single on the podcast so that you can listen before you buy!  Yes, we want you to go to iTunes and download the single - every single penny raised will go to help the children supported by the great work done by Aberlour.  So, as a favour to the Social Media Podcast team, please buy a copy of the single (or the full EP) it's well worth the money.

Buy the Aberlour Choir featuring Edward Reid here.

With Kids Charity Race Night

One of our chosen charities at fatBuzz, are trying to raise money by holding a race night this month. We would really appreciate it if you took the time to read this post. With Christmas just around the corner we know this time of the year can be especially hard for deprived families in Glasgow's east end. With Kids are a great Glasgow based charity that provide many different services to these families.

The Courtyard Bar are very kindly organising and sponsoring the With Kids Charity Race Night on the 23rd November. They are helping them raise funds for Christmas and we would love for you to join them for a great night. With Kids have recently written a post regarding our Christmas Appeal highlighting how vital donations and fundraising is to the charity at Christmas time.


The Race Night is a welcomed addition to their fundraising efforts to help in the lead up Christmas. This time of year is a tough time financially for many and through fundraising events and kind donations they aim to make sure no family is left with nothing at Christmas.

Join everyone at The Courtyard Bar, 84 West Nile St. 7.30pm on 23rd November. There will also be live entertainment, Tombola and Raffle Prizes.

If you would like to make a donation or help With Kids with donating anything to their Christmas Appeal, they would love to hear from you. Contact With Kids on 0141 550 5770 or email us.

You can keep up to date with what With Kids are up to on their Website, Blog, Facebook Page or you can follow them on Twitter.
