The Lydon Interviews

02 Sep 2003 by Brad Hurley

Former journalist and radio talk-show host Christopher Lydon has been bitten by the blogging bug, and has posted a string of recorded interviews with some of the “blogosphere’s” pioneers, such as David Sifry, Doc Searls, Glenn Reynolds (“Instapundit”), and David Weinberger, along with several political journalists and authors. Maybe “discussions” is a better word than interviews; a Lydon interview usually ends up being more like My Dinner With Andre than Fresh Air with Terry Gross. These 1/2 hour interviews are MP3 files, about 10-14 megabytes each, stored on a sluggish server. It can take 10 minutes to download a file even if you have a speedy connection, so be patient.
