Podsafe for Peace is the name established by a group of podsafe artists who first came together in 2005 to perform a Christmas charity song that could legally be played on podcasts. (Most existing Christmas songs cannot be included in podcasts due to copyright restrictions.)
In late 2005, Adam Curry played the song "If Every Day Were Christmas" on his Podcast. After playing it, he commented that the song would be ideal for use as a multiple-artist benefit project (similar to Band Aid's Feed the World, or USA for Africa's We Are the World tracks). New York based musician Slau, who co-wrote the song with Orlando Pagan (a member of the Dance Theatre of Harlem), took on the challenge of producing the song.
In the following month 32 singers from 9 countries contributed audio files of their performances using the Internet. Slau, who is a recording engineer as well as a singer/songwriter, wove the contributed tracks together into a finished version by early December - a timeframe that would have been impossible for the slower-moving mainstream music industry to achieve.
It was decided that all proceeds from the track would be donated to UNICEF, which aids children in need around the world.
"If Every Day Were Christmas" got is first North American terrestrial radio play December 4 on KQCX 99.1 in Queen Creek Arizona, when Chris Doelle's PMC Top10 debuted the song in the #2 spot.
