A still timely Pajamas Media BWIR

I listened to what is still the latest Pajamas Media Blow Week in Review podcast on the Saturday before I left for Kansas, but I'm just now getting around to blogging about it.

Moderator Austin Bay interviews blogging pioneer James Lileks, who blogged before, well these things were called blogs.

Lileks talks about the challenges facing the newspaper business, as well as his new role as "content wrangler" for Buzz.mn. The site is similar to the Daily Herald's Beep Central, which has been wise enough to add my blog to their community.

For fans of Isaac Asimov, you'll be pleased to hear Lileks makes use of the word "Trantorian," a reference to Trantor, the capital planet of the Galactic Empire in many of Asimov's books.

As always, the podcast is produced by Ed Driscoll. Pajamas Media Blog Week in Review is sponsored by Volvo US.

No iPod of iPhone is required to listen to or download the podcast, you can tune in by clicking here.
