Lies.com Podcast 24
Join me in exploring my obsessions in Lies.com Podcast 24: lying politicians, in-the-moment actors and reporters, and teenage girl pop stars.
I don’t know what people think of this format I’ve been using for the podcasts lately; people are downloading them and presumably listening, but the number is small and I don’t get a lot of feedback.
I mostly make these as audio journals of the more-interesting stuff I’ve been listening to on my commute. When I hear something that makes me think, huh, I could listen to that again, I make a mental note to throw it in a podcast. Then I try to add some music that seems appropriate, either in terms of mood, or in terms of a specific lyrical commentary.
I don’t know that there are many other people doing podcasts like this, which may be trying to tell me something. But I find it interesting, and I enjoy listening to them myself (re-listening to them) during the commute.
Anyway, if you’ve listened to these recent ones and have any comments pro or con, feel free to pass them on. Thanks.

actually I find them great as background when I’m at work. some of the stuff I’ve already heard before, but that’s fine because I can’t put 100% concentration into these podcasts.
usually I think of them as the cliff notes version of different events, which is most of what the blogosphere is anyway.
