Love, Just a Click Away?

After a very rough 36 hours, I wonder if things would be different if there was a Mrs. Nice Guy...uh, Nice Chick...Nice Woman; y'know. As we learn from the courts, the news, and personal experience, turning to the Web or other electronic means of communication are probably not the way to make that happen.-M!

So Thankful

Show #200. Wow. Perfectly-timed, too, for deep reflections on Tgvg in the USA. Should we really be thankful for all the cheap junk people will be swarming the stores for tomorrow?

Happppy Thanksgiving [and if you're not in the US, ooops, sorry. You're probably much better off].-M!

Podcasting, etc.

In show #79, we learn a new word that many terrestrial radio programmers live by as they sing "Don't Look Back." Also, I admit a mistake and make the important correction, both ABC and NBC announce they'll be doing some podcasting, while CBS remains silent, apparently wishing iy was still 1948. Kudos to some good podcasts I've discovered, and the inside scooop on listener comment lines.-M!

Mercifully, the final look at how the TV networks sell us "poo" by calling it roses as they proudly announce their fall schedules. Also, Fox makes some interesting implications about the future of reality TV, and why a big, talented star like Chris Rock would bother with a network like UPN.Got something to say?
