The Captains' ConcertMarch is fast approaching, which means it’s almost time for SXSW!

I have a feeling that Austin is the Captains’ type of town, and I hope you’ll join us for two special Catch events:

Deadliest Catch‘s Twitter for Tough Guys

November 14, 2012 | by aharris

Creating Change 2012Months of planning are about to pay off — for our employees and a great group of organizations that we have the pleasure of working with. Creating Change, a 12-hour creative marathon and conference. Discovery employees will volunteer their talents and skills to nonprofits in need of marketing, communications, social media, creative and business services.

Social media is always an area of great interest for the organizations that apply for Creating Change, and this year we’ll be hosting breakout sessions and one-on-one time to provide inspiration and information about this and other disciplines. I’m also excited to share a new microsite we’ve launched for the day at discovery.com/ourimpact. The site will feature updates from all of those taking part in the marathon and conference from both Twitter and Instagram.

We’d like to extend a big welcome to those organizations who have been accepted (listed below) and to everyone who will be joining us in the morning for a day of enlightenment and learning!

Strike Gold This Friday on Discovery Channel

October 24, 2012 | by kdelmonico

This Friday, the Gold Rush crews return to Discovery Channel for their third season of trying to strike it rich — and this season, one of them does. The stakes are higher as Todd doubles down on two claims he is, quite literally, banking everything on, while Dakota Fred’s glory hole may contain millions in gold.

Before the premiere, tune in at 7:30pm ET/PT for Gold Rush: Do or Die to find out what’s happened since the miners went home after the second season. The Gold Rush guys will be tweeting live and some of their tweets will appear during the episode. You also can tweet live with the #GoldRush hashtag during the episode and you might see your Tweet live on air as we count down to the season premiere at 9pm ET/PT.

Later, two rookie American gold miners head to Ghana to tap into the potential multi-million dollar gold claims buried in the dense jungles there on the premiere of Jungle Gold. While worrying about cold weather isn’t a factor in Ghana, mining is the easy part in this region, as the high stakes of the gold trade result in dangerous conditions amongst the miners.
Check out a sneak peek of Jungle Gold below and don’t miss the series premiere Friday at 10pm ET/PT.
