2. I'm surprised Fred let you scoop the magazine.

3. No opinion about the e-mail thing. I guess, like you said, it struck a chord, which seem to be how shitstorms brew online. Seems overall pretty dumb to me. But what I really wanted to comment on was your coda -- the Don Imus part. Notwithstanding all Imus's baggage, what's up with shrugging him off because the "guy's a bazillion years old."

4. You give an interesting suggestion for joining the A-list. I'm almost tempted to try it, if only to prove you wrong.

5. I loved this 'cast. Now you/we all have the perfect comeback whenever a reporter in search of an interview insists on phone over email: "Fine, but it'll be recorded and go out as part of my podcast, 'kay?" Because the problem with any interview, even an email one, is that reporters have space constraints and points they hope you'll try to help them make; hence, you're almost always bound to have the final product fail to convey precisely what you, the interviewee, had hoped to. Having a record of some form or other as an interviewee is the only way to show the world you may not be *quite* the putz you came across as. As you alluded on the show, I think is well on its way to becoming the rule rather than the exception.

The other thing I try to remember is to ask up front if the reporter will be so kind as to let me approve (and if appropriate correct) the quotes s/he intends to use before the article goes out. If they decline, and I can't keep a record of the interview on my end, it certainly makes me think hard about participating. If they won't agree to this, it telegraphs to me a willingness to misquote or take out of context (whether conscious or unconscious) and my response tends to be "who needs it?"

8. Loved the Calacaniscast of your interview with Fred Vogelstein. When you talked about the power of communicating directly with an audience and how you “don’t need an intermediary anymore” it made me laugh. I couldn’t help but draw a parallel with the Protestant Revolution. Students of history are well aware that the Protestant Revolt did far more than fracture the church, it lead to dramatic global upheaval and yet the reformation failed in many ways because of the very chaos it created. The challenge we face in shaping the future of news, is not to destroy the very institutions we hope to improve. I respect your decisions to communicate directly with your audiences but don’t want to put good journalists, like those at Wired, out of work.
