In 2005, Slau produced and co-wrote a version of "If Every Day Were Christmas," a holiday song which fell into the hands of podcasting legend
Adam Curry . After listening to the song, Curry suggested on his "Daily Source Code " podcast that the song would lend itself to a "We Are the World "–style production. Slau agreed and began assembling a group of podsafe artists, many from thePodsafe Music Network . The final recording features 32 artists from nine countries around the world and was dubbed "Podsafe for Peace" by Curry. All proceeds from the sale of the recording go toUNICEF .
