Hey it's Dave Weiner 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.
