This evening we went to see a live taping of the Slate Political Gabfest. I am an avid reader of Slate.com and really enjoy their podcasts especially the Political Gabfest and the Cultural Gabfest, all about the weeks pop culture issues and happenings!
For those of you not familiar with Slate.com, it is a web-only publication that has really grown and become an important source of commentary and news. I really think that considering the state that journalism and newspapers are in you should really keep your eyes on publications like Slate.com, who are doing very interesting and creative things in journalism!!
The live podcast was great fun, had mentioned before that they did not expect so many people to want tickets and it was really big turnout! They were a bit nervous, first time in front of a live audience but once they got started with their topics it was great! Among the things they talked about; inauguration day and when will Obamas honeymoon be over and should Obama really use his Blackberry? What is he sending, Lolcats?
