We all love theme parks. Thats why we're on discussion boards, websites, and why some of us do a podcast all devoted to theme parks. What if you didnt have the money to do the fun things you loved, like go to theme parks, because of something serious like a life threatening illness. That is a reality for millions of children throughout the world. That is why we are taking this week to talk about something near and dear to everyone at IOACentral Radio's hearts, charity.

If it wasnt for a charity event, IOACentral Radio would never have come into existence. So we are very proud of our friend Clint Novak of In The Loop for starting the Single Riders. This week Erik sits down and talks to Mike Collins of Coasterradio.com about the Single Riders, an event involving riding rollercoasters all day long to benefit Kennywood Cares and Give Kids the World (the unofficial birthplace of IOACentral Radio).

Now Mike Collins has not released a single episode of Coasterradio.com in almost a year, so its a pretty special occasion when he comes out to talk about a great event for a great cause. We also talk to Mike about Costerradio, its great audience, and the future show. And we are very proud to have Pam Lindworth, President of Give Kids The World, on the show talking about everything that GKTW does. 

So please join us for this very special show, and we hope that we can touch your hearts the way that Give Kids the World has touched ours
