I just received the sad news via MacMerc that the host of the Wizards of Technology and The Spoilers podcasts, Digital Bill Douthett, passed away yesterday.

Digital Bill was a great guy. An early podcaster who was always ready to spread a smile . I considered him a good friend. We'll miss him very much.

Ric Yaeger at MacMerc has setup a fund to help cover the funeral expenses.

Thats devastating. Bill was a great guy. I loved listening to him and his self depreciating humor. I am shocked.

I am so sad over this. I talked to Bill almost every day. He was always there, ready and willing to help out anyway he could. Always going out of his way to lend a helping hand, completely supportive. I'm going to miss him so much. He truly was a great man. Far too young to pass on. :(

That's incredible - I only listen to a handful of podcasts and his was one of them.

I am deeply, deeply saddened by this. Wizards of Technology was one of the first podcasts I listened to, ever. They're also the ones who pointed me towards TWiT and the world of TSS. A great show. A great friend to everyone, even people he never met. Cheers to you Bill, "stay subscribed."

Bill was a good friend and I wanted to pass along several websites that have made mention of Bill's passing:

For anyone that is interested, I will update the post with information about the memorial services as they become available.

Such sad news. DigitalBill, we'll miss you.

That is very sad. I just discovered Bill through MacOSKen and didn't even really get a chance to know him in the online world.

This is very sad news. My condolences to DigitalBill's family and friends. I got to meet him at the Podcast Expo in 2005. He was so kind and very cute in his kilts.

Wow. I just heard about DigitalBill's passing while listening to your KFI podcast. The Wizards of Technology podcast is truely one of the most enjoyable podcasts on tech anywhere. I usually listen to the show while running, and I can't even begin to tell you the number of times I had to stop running for laughing at something Bill said. Just hearing the intro to the show was enough to put me in a good mood because I knew that a good time was to be had. I considered Bill a friend even though I never met him.

My condolences to DigitalBill's loved ones.

Bye Bye Wizard
