Here's a BigPub article about podcasting that gives credit to Chris Lydon with an assist from me. That's closer to the truth that all the other articles. Chris did the interviews, with technical help from Bob Doyle, and I did the overall concept, the RSS and promotion. Those really were the first podcasts. I didn't write iPodder as they suggest, I wrote the aggregator in Radio, which iPodder is patterned after.  

NY Times: "Mr Finkelstein's personal life made headlines Saturday after he said he had married his longtime male partner in a civil ceremony in Massachusetts, a move that startled some of his associates, given his history with the Republican Party." Hmmm.

John Stanforth on the West Wing of late. Warning, there are some spoilers in his writeup, which explains why the season finale was so satisfying. We're also grateful that the writers didn't hold the big decision till next year (that would have been awful) but did leave us a juicy tidbit to debate, which character is going to Federal prison for ten years.
