Dan Wood: The Eponymous Weblog

I'm listening to the inchoate radio network, Air America Radio, over their Internet feed. After a bunch of technical problems with the stream yesterday, it seems to be pretty stable today. (Terry has some tips for Mac OS X users here.)

Wow, some really heavy-hitter guests they have had so far! How refreshing to be hearing radio that is not steeped in ultra-conservatism. The ads are, of course, as obnoxious as on any AM station! But for the American majority, who aren't fan's of the neocon agenda — whether it be confirmed Democrats, stepping-stone democrats, Republicans who feel that Bush has gone too far — you should check this out.

Still, it is not without its shortcomings. Randi Rhodes has some good things to say, but in some interaction with callers, she sounds as pig-headed as Rush Limbaugh. And I agree with Doc Searls' assessment [updated link] assessment that they really need to take advantage of the Internet:

[G]et out of the media mentality of old radio. Don't try to beat right wing radio at its own game. Start a new one.
