00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.190
 Hey it's Dave Weiner here. I

00:00:07.190 --> 00:00:09.390
 want to do a little brief

00:00:09.390 --> 00:00:11.800
 broadcast of my own today to

00:00:11.800 --> 00:00:14.190
 explain what happened with the

00:00:14.190 --> 00:00:16.200
 one that we had done earlier.

00:00:16.200 --> 00:00:18.720
 It was a 50 minute conversation

00:00:18.720 --> 00:00:21.110
 between Jay and myself and it

00:00:21.110 --> 00:00:23.340
 was, I don't know, it was

00:00:23.340 --> 00:00:25.960
 really great and I was so happy

00:00:25.960 --> 00:00:29.120
 with the way it was coming out

00:00:29.120 --> 00:00:31.330
 and I screwed up. At the

00:00:31.330 --> 00:00:34.160
 beginning of the call, I used

00:00:34.160 --> 00:00:34.240
 an

00:00:34.240 --> 00:00:36.000
 iPhone to do this and at the

00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:37.750
 beginning of the call I'm

00:00:37.750 --> 00:00:39.960
 supposed to merge the two calls

00:00:39.960 --> 00:00:39.960
,

00:00:39.960 --> 00:00:41.820
 the one that I made to BlogTalk

00:00:41.820 --> 00:00:43.450
 Radio and then the one that I

00:00:43.450 --> 00:00:44.720
 made with Jay and I'm

00:00:44.720 --> 00:00:46.730
 supposed to merge them so that

00:00:46.730 --> 00:00:48.500
 BlogTalk Radio is hearing

00:00:48.500 --> 00:00:50.600
 everything that both of us say

00:00:50.600 --> 00:00:53.180
 and I didn't merge them. And so

00:00:53.180 --> 00:00:54.660
 I had a great conversation with

00:00:54.660 --> 00:00:55.920
 Jay but BlogTalk Radio was

00:00:55.920 --> 00:00:59.050
 tuned in. And I'm absolutely

00:00:59.050 --> 00:01:01.790
 sure we will not do this one

00:01:01.790 --> 00:01:04.120
 again. We just can't possibly

00:01:04.120 --> 00:01:05.040
 do

00:01:05.040 --> 00:01:07.030
 a second take on something like

00:01:07.030 --> 00:01:09.020
 this, especially when it came

00:01:09.020 --> 00:01:11.480
 out so good. I'm just going to

00:01:11.480 --> 00:01:12.950
 give you a list of roughly the

00:01:12.950 --> 00:01:14.670
 things that we talked about. We

00:01:14.670 --> 00:01:15.920
 talked about more than

00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:18.930
 endowed at the New York Times.

00:01:18.930 --> 00:01:21.750
 We talked about neutrality and

00:01:21.750 --> 00:01:24.280
 all of its facets, how it

00:01:24.280 --> 00:01:24.600
 applies

00:01:24.600 --> 00:01:29.190
 to all elements of news. Jay

00:01:29.190 --> 00:01:33.340
 gave us a source of inspiration

00:01:33.340 --> 00:01:38.040
, Raymond Williams and we talked

00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:39.190
 about David Gregory and the

00:01:39.190 --> 00:01:40.440
 audience and then at the end we

00:01:40.440 --> 00:01:42.280
 talked about the New York Times

00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:45.040
 and we ended on such an upbeat

00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:47.420
 note that that's the part I

00:01:47.420 --> 00:01:50.840
 really regret losing because

00:01:50.840 --> 00:01:52.560
 Jay

00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:54.180
 made a comment and he said what

00:01:54.180 --> 00:01:55.790
 a way to end this podcast when

00:01:55.790 --> 00:01:56.960
 we were both saying that

00:01:56.960 --> 00:01:59.420
 Bill Keller, the executive

00:01:59.420 --> 00:02:02.080
 editor at the Times was right

00:02:02.080 --> 00:02:06.400
 about wanting to go and try to

00:02:06.400 --> 00:02:07.040
 reproduce

00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:09.540
 what had happened there. It was

00:02:09.540 --> 00:02:11.680
 just so terrible to lose it.

00:02:11.680 --> 00:02:13.600
 But we will come back next week

00:02:13.600 --> 00:02:16.460
 and I will make absolutely sure

00:02:16.460 --> 00:02:18.680
 during the week that the

00:02:18.680 --> 00:02:21.200
 production system has some

00:02:21.200 --> 00:02:21.800
 redundancy

00:02:21.800 --> 00:02:23.740
 in it and I will never ever in

00:02:23.740 --> 00:02:25.510
 a million years make this

00:02:25.510 --> 00:02:28.360
 mistake again. And I want to be

00:02:28.360 --> 00:02:30.820
 clear, Blog Talk Radio is a

00:02:30.820 --> 00:02:33.600
 wonderful service and it was my

00:02:33.600 --> 00:02:36.800
 mistake, not theirs. Alan Levy,

00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:38.840
 the president of Blog Talk

00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:40.960
 Radio is an avid listener to

00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:43.370
 our podcast and he responded

00:02:43.370 --> 00:02:43.920
 within

00:02:43.920 --> 00:02:46.200
 like 10 minutes of when it was

00:02:46.200 --> 00:02:47.840
 supposed to be up saying what

00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:49.440
 happened and I just feel

00:02:49.440 --> 00:02:51.260
 so bad that number one it was

00:02:51.260 --> 00:02:53.240
 so good and number two is that

00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:54.720
 we really got some cool

00:02:54.720 --> 00:02:56.530
 people that are tuning into

00:02:56.530 --> 00:02:58.150
 this and we are really going

00:02:58.150 --> 00:03:01.440
 somewhere. So I don't know, it

00:03:01.440 --> 00:03:03.950
 won't happen again. Knockwood,

00:03:03.950 --> 00:03:06.000
 Praise Murphy, I'm not a lawyer

00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:07.760
 and despite everything my

00:03:07.760 --> 00:03:11.590
 mother still loves me. But I'm

00:03:11.590 --> 00:03:14.850
 so sorry to you and to Jay and

00:03:14.850 --> 00:03:17.640
 I feel terrible about what

00:03:17.640 --> 00:03:19.590
 happened here. So we will see

00:03:19.590 --> 00:03:21.500
 you next week. Okay, thanks.

00:03:21.500 --> 00:03:22.160
 Bye-bye.
