Dan Rather on bull sh*t & blogs: an Andy Carvin interview

I just linked to this elsewhere but after thinking on it, I want to give DC Media Maker Andy’s interview more attention. I loved this - for its candor & conversational view of Dan Rather.

Christmas Eve’s sexist but well-meaning blogger

These days we live in a new media wonderland where most of the time all folks wanting to converse on content can engage.

It’s this savory democratic seamlessness that inspires passion for Web 2.0, Node101, and as Scobleizer said, being apart of the conversation.

But according to at least one male blogger, a woman’s looks are a more notable reason to engage. He today revealed his Most Beautiful Women Bloggers of 2006. His list highlights a few of the blogosphere’s popular personalities in new media & tech. Some are producers or Ivy League grads which he admits but only as back-up to the main reason why these women bloggers were acknowledged: their looks.

If I truly embrace the Net’s democracy, then why should I harp? It’s almost Christmas after all and this guy seems decent, well-informed and well-quoted about the digital age. I’ll certainly give him all that.

…and this honor: SEXIST BUT WELL-MEANING BLOGGER ON CHRISTMAS EVE: Amit Agarwal

Andy Coon interviews Alive In Baghdad’s Brian Conley

Andy Coon’s latest podcast underscores what great partners the vlogosphere and citizen journalists make.

Andy, Final Cut producer and filmmaker, hosts a consistently informed site for film tech & style. He also conducts podcast interviews with top talent on the documentary scene. And he just scored big — both for content and for his readers/listeners.

Brian Conley, producer of Alive In Baghdad, interviewed with Andy today on the genesis of the Baghdad series. They also discuss what it’s been like producing weekly online videos about the day-to-day life in Iraq.

Not to harp on this point, but to offer context for those who haven’t viewed this series yet:
Alive In Baghdad and Brian’s staff won top honors at the Vloggies; it’s a funny sounding event sponsored by Podtech. And it’s the Oscars for online video material.

The Alive In Baghdad series won:

Best Vlog (with a standing ovation at the San Fran ceremony)
Best Group Vlog
Best Political Vlog
Favorite Interview Vlog

It’s tremendous what these guys are able to share with the world via the Net — and equally so for Andy to discuss the nuts-n-bolts behind their program and philosophy.
