It also relates to newspapers publishing ad hominem trollspeak as "reader comments" (hmm...is "ad hominem trollspeak" redundant?) Feels more like a hollow gesture toward "interactivity" than any real, sincere effort. to me, this seems more like a form of cheap entertainment than it is the paper actually listening to the feedback they *might* be getting.

Podcasts are still a challenge for me, as both a consumer and a producer. Even as simple as iTunes makes it to manage and sync podcasts on my iPod, it's still takes time. Often, I find the podcasts I'm listening to aren't worth the time it takes to seek/find/sync them. The quality's inconsistent, or perhaps my interests change too much from week to week. Something like this, though, might have staying power. It's raw, unfiltered, unique, unpredictable. This is brilliant!
