GET LOST Episode 5: The Cross-Country Experience

Steve Safran June 25th, 2007

This week, we record GET LOST via Skype, with Cory in Seattle and me in Boston. It’s the first episode of GL where we’re not actually together in a room and man, does it sound like it. Still, not bad considering we’re 3,000 miles and several beers apart. In this podcast, we discuss the recent trend of private equity firms purchasing local stations - and whether those stations’ web efforts are a “drag” on station values. We also chat about ABC News’s recent move to cut traditional jobs and beef up digital jobs. All that, in glorious monophonic sound, in this episode of GET LOST.

    Woo hoo! I got a shout out. I feel much cooler now that I’ve been podcasted… Is “podcasted” a word? Maybe it’s like “viewser” and we should trademark it before others start using it.

    Good audio, fine content, excellent sponsor integration (Golden Eagle). Kudos.

    Sadly, Golden Palace wouldn’t sponsor us. But click on my name for some links to Golden Eagle Gasoline signs from back in the day.
