Podcasting, In the Nick of Time

October 6, 2006 Posted by John at 9:15 PM

There are several ways you can tell when I'm really busy in the office and otherwise. One is that my hair gets long because I can't take time for a haircut. Another is that I don't get podcasts done. We'll be on the air at 11:00 central tomorrow morning, and I had a free night at home, so I edited the second hour of last Saturday's show, and here it is.

The first half of the hour was a terrific interview with Jim Geraghty of National Review, talking about his new book, Voting to Kill. Jim thinks that whenever national security is at the forefront of the nation's awareness, Republicans benefit. Consequently, September 11 heralded an era of Republican dominance. Jim, like me, is reasonably optimistic about next month's elections, but is hedging his bets. Go here to buy the book.

Our interview was marred by some technical difficulties, which, I'm bound to say, were not Stillwater Ward's fault. A highlight was a call from "James from Minneapolis," one of our, and Jim Geraghty's, favorite journalists.

The rest of the hour was spent talking about the Mark Foley matter, which was then in its infancy, and presenting our coveted Loon of the Week and Gatekeeper of the Week awards.

It was, if I do say so myself, a great show. You can download or just listen to the podcast here. Or, as always, you can subscribe to our podcasts on iTunes by going here.
