A Personal Blog
Blog Radio?
I was going out to lunch today. Trying to find some decent music. Couldn’t. For the life of me, I couldn’t find something that clicked with the mood I was in.
So, I sat there (at an interminably long red light) trying to figure out what I was in the mood for. Sadly, and I guess this shows my social state (I’ll blame any negative facts on the stomach flu I’m still recovering from); I realised that I was interested in blogging at that very moment.
At that moment in time, I wished there was a radio show on blogging that I could listen to.
It would likely have up-to-date news on the current happenings in the blogosphere (maybe BlogRadio would be limited to tech and business news, as I’m gathering that that’s the largest audience it’d have, since it’d likely have to be net-based and who else but business folks and geeks would listen to it?):
- Scoble getting pansy-striped for cursing out designers
- Winer getting pansy-striped for being Winer
- Jay Allen getting quoted in Wired
- Google getting a 15-page spread in Wired
It could also have talk bits discussing various issues of the day:
- How much personal information is too much? (also see Scoble’s recent pansy-striping over this very issue)
- Is the expansion of MovableType bad to blogging by creating a feeding ground for exploits?
- Why is there an A-List, if there even is one?
Not sure it’d fly, but if someone would be willing to co-host, I’d be willing to give it a go, at least on a one-month demo (1 weekly show for 4 weeks).

Perhaps not a radiostation/show, but a bi-weekly newsletter? I doubt a radiostation/show would work, unless you’d make it a digital radiostation/show, so everyone around the world can receive it. A digital radiostation/show would be pretty easy, provided you have a server and sufficient bandwidth.
(BTW, the “post your comment” in your RSS feed is wrong, it goes to inluminent.com, instead of ensight.org).

Dennis, definitely Net radio, not traditional radio (no point). Not sure about a newsletter, as I’m of the opinion that blogs replace the need for newsletters.
I just think something with the personality of The Screen Savers, but for bloggers, would be great.

An internet radio show on blogging just might take flight. After all, blogging is an internet medium and in many ways, radio is a blogging medium as well. News stories on radio tend to be brief and immediate like blog entries. Talk radio is blogging writ large, complete with comments on and references to, other writers, and news stories.

Just came across your post and thought I would let you know about BlogosphereRadio.com – a site we have just launched. I guess you could say we had the same idea you did and we’re giving it a shot.
