Christopher Lydon

Je' tipped me off to the fact that Christopher Lydon has a weblog. I remember when he was the host for the Connection here in Boston, and although I thought he spent a bit too much time on how the internet was changing the world, he was still twenty times better than the two hosts that immediately followed him (I don't even remember their names). He was so good that I considered volunteering to transcribe his interviews so that they could be published on the web.

The current host for the connection is Dick Gordon, and he's very good. But now that I know Christopher Lydon has his own weblog, it's like getting bonus episodes! The fact that he still gets interviews with important people even though he's not on the radio anymore is very impressive, and a real testament to Mr Lydon.

Unfortunately even though his interviews are now on the web, they're still audio-only. I prefer text because I can read much more quickly than I can listen.
