Articleman on KRXA AM tomorrow 8:06 a.m. PDT/11:06 EDT, Doing Interview About Recent TPM Posts, Campaign
Hi all. When I put an e-mail address on Articleman's profile, I did not expect to get asked to do a radio interview as Articleman. I guess the good folks at liberal talk radio KRXA in Monterey/Santa Cruz California like and follow TPM. After a recent post of mine about my support of Obama, someone there sent me a mail inviting me to do a call-in about that post, the campaign, and perhaps other recent posts. I am scheduled to call in and do live chat tomorrow at 8:06 AM. It is on live stream at http://www.krxa540.com/www.krxa540.com/
if anyone is interested. Just thought you might get a kick out of a reader-post here getting someone on the radio, or might want to turn it on briefly at your desk and throw an egg at your speakers.

Very cool. I'm not generally awake nor coherent at that hour, are they going to include it in their podcasts?

It's the 8-10 a.m. show, I couldn't figure out from the site if it's podcast. If it is, I'll post the link afterward.

Congrats! They have good taste. We rarely agree (or we used to rarely agree), but your perspective is always interesting.

Very kind of you, D., given our support of different candidates this spring, thanks.

No problem - I'll have my egg ready in case of anti-HRC comments :)

I will be very disappointed, articleman, if you didn't spend a least some amount of airtime discussing your rules to get a recommended post on TPM.
No sugar-coating!

Ooh! How exciting! I will definitely tune in.
Why don't you post again tomorrow afternoon so we can give feedback on your interview??

Wow! Kewl! Sadly, I will be airborne at 8am tomorrow, so I think you should demand a recording of some kind.

Are you battling Genghis for the MTP slot?

Let him have it. Then, at least when I die, there won't be a bunch of assholes going all 28 Days Later on me.
Besides, I'd like to see Genghis interview someone like Karl Rove: "Karl, many in the liberal blogosphere have written that you are a fucker. (Leans forward dramatically, raises eyebrow, flashes electric shirt at Rove.) Your response?"

lbp! You're back! I missed you!

I didn't know that I was in the running. The station always tells me what's happening after everyone else already knows. Articleman, maybe we can do a tag-team? After I ask Rove about the fucker thing, you can make obscene gestures at the camera. LBP, you must also come on the show as a special guest. And California Paige and Laura Jordan and boo_lala and dijamo, and oh, everyone will be there. Even the little baby. I'm so excited.

It'll be like your own Slim Shady video. You're the Real Genghis, the only Real Genghis, the other fake Genghises are just imitators . . .
And Allsburg gets tossed about like a football.
I just want to get all Chris Matthews on someone:
"Answer the question! Answer the question!"
Come to think of it, better to be Marshall Mathers.

This is all very cool, but I cannot support baby tossing, even for the sake of hard-hitting journalism.

Today TPM. Tomorrow krxa540. The next day Larry King.

Congrats, Articleman! You'll be famous after this and we'll see you being interviewed by Olbermann next.

That's our local station! KRXA is great and some of the local shows are syndicated.

Can you give us a link to the post in question?

I knew making your e-mail address public could get you in trouble. I'm getting the eggs ready :)

It was fun placing a voice with the words. Nice job, analysis and unity msg. WTG.
With Lanny Davis gone, there should be some empty surrogate positions available. You should apply.

You guys are really kind. Will post about this. Hal said he would have me back soon, and it seemed to go pretty well. Funny how Hal had the same gripes with TPM functionality y'all do.

What gripes with the TPM functionality?
