Joe Murphy, a beloved podcaster, died today of Cancer. He was diagnosed four months ago. He had leiomyosarcoma, a nasty form that is radiation and chemotherapy resistant.

He was a real person where most podcasters are “on air” personalities. I only met him once. It was right after his first surgery where they found the cancer was inoperable. I spent 2 hours on a bus just to get to the other side of town where the hospital was that he was in. I spend only 20 minutes with him then went home. He never knew I was coming.
