What?
This particular event is a live podcast stream that is extended by donations to Child's Play. A Chipin link (100% of proceeds going right to Child's Play, receipts provided for tax purposes), the stream and a link to a chatroom can be found here. The stream starts at 12:00 Eastern (9am Pacific, 1700 UTC) on the 19th.

2010 recordings: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3
What else?
Well, it's a podcast for grown-ups. Despite the fact that this is a Nintendo-focused show, the language can and will get explicit. Especially if the last round opens up.
Last round?
As the donations increase, so does the content. This year, the goal is to go past 8:00pm (Eastern). The schedule as it stands now:
12:00 EST - Intro / New Business (Free)
1:00 EST - Skyward Sword Spoiler-Free Review Roundtable with Special Guests
2:00 EST - Listener "Mail" Call-In Bonanza
3:00 EST - Game of the Year Roundtable
4:00 EST - Radio Trivia Live with TYP and Greg
5:00 EST - Memoirs of a GameCube w/ Billy Berghammer
6:00 EST - Famicast: Live from Japan w/Gaming Jesus and sprsk
7:00 EST - NWR Connectivity Jeopardy
8:00 EST - Shenanigans!
Do I want to know what Shenanigans refers to?
This crew once set something on fire during a podcast recording and had to have a 20 minute corrections segment after one infamous episode in particular. If they're still going at 8:00, I am disavowing all responsibility for what happens.
What's Radio Trivia?
A few songs will be played from a game released on a Nintendo platform, and the audience must guess the game. First one to do so wins a prize of probable quality, though you may end up with a copy of Learning With The Pooyoos Vol. 1 if you're not careful.
If you're not musically inclined, there may be other opportunities for prizes as well.
Prizes?
