Hey it’s Dave Winer here. I want to do a little brief broadcast of my own today to explain what happened with the one that we had done earlier.
It was a 50 minute conversation between Jay and myself and it was, I don’t know, it was really great and I was so happy with the way it was coming out and I screwed up. At the beginning of the call, I used an iPhone to do this and at the beginning of the call I’m supposed to merge the two calls , the one that I made to BlogTalk Radio and then the one that I made with Jay and I’m supposed to merge them so that BlogTalk Radio is hearing everything that both of us say and I didn’t merge them. And so I had a great conversation with Jay but BlogTalk Radio was tuned in. And I’m absolutely sure we will not do this one again. We just can’t possibly do a second take on something like this, especially when it came out so good. I’m just going to give you a list of roughly the things that we talked about. We talked about more than endowed at the New York Times.
We talked about neutrality and all of its facets, how it applies to all elements of news. Jay gave us a source of inspiration , Raymond Williams and we talked about David Gregory and the audience and then at the end we talked about the New York Times and we ended on such an upbeat note that that’s the part I really regret losing because Jay made a comment and he said what a way to end this podcast when we were both saying that Bill Keller, the executive editor at the Times was right about wanting to go and try to reproduce what had happened there. It was just so terrible to lose it.
But we will come back next week and I will make absolutely sure during the week that the production system has some redundancy in it and I will never ever in a million years make this mistake again. And I want to be clear, Blog Talk Radio is a wonderful service and it was my mistake, not theirs. Alan Levy, the president of Blog Talk Radio is an avid listener to our podcast and he responded within like 10 minutes of when it was supposed to be up saying what happened and I just feel so bad that number one it was so good and number two is that we really got some cool people that are tuning into this and we are really going somewhere. So I don’t know, it won’t happen again. Knockwood, Praise Murphy, I’m not a lawyer and despite everything my mother still loves me. But I’m so sorry to you and to Jay and I feel terrible about what happened here. So we will see you next week. Okay, thanks.
Bye-bye.
