Week in Review Podcast Ark. Times Week in Review Podcast: new and improved
Posted by Lindsey Millar on Fri, Mar 4, 2011 at 5:34 PM
This week, I talk to Max about Mike Huckabee's latest and greatest gaffes, dissension among state Republicans and H.U. Queer Press. Also, I visit with Times music editor John Tarpley, who provides a preview of tonight's Musicians Showcase finals. And in the last segment, I talk, via phone, about the latest in Hogland with Little Rock native Matt Besser, a wickedly funny comedian and die-hard Razorback fan.
I'm in the processing of adding the podcast to iTunes. I'll update the post with a link when it's live.
In the meantime, stream or download it below.

OK, fine. So Lindsey is a guy. Who knew?
The rest of this is the wrong medium for this crowd.
If you are going to sing to the choir, you owe us at least harmony.

Max, in case the shopping thing doesn't explain everything:
Sue me, I couldn't make myself listen to the whole audio thing. I still think Lindsey has a deeper voice than Lady Gaga. I know your voice, and your size.
The ArkBlog, those who count, are mainly post-doctoral in the English language, either by training or by experience. We are written word people.
Someday, if you buy me enough Scotch, I will tell you the story about singing in the choir while Bart Ehrman took communion.
I disagree, Silverback. I like the podcast. I have an undergraduate degree in journalism and advanced degrees in educational psychology and higher education, and while I like the written aspect of the Blog, I think the Podcast is still informational and useful. Keep up the good work, Max.
Thanks Silver. I get it now. Different strokes and all. This is a new form for me, too. It's part of our evolution from a weekly newspaper to a "media platform." Newspaper people don't often have the voice for radio or the face for TV, but, what you gonna do?
I like the podcast, keep em coming. It looks like to me that 40 years of picking the right voice for radio and the right face for TV has succeeded in ignoring people with the right brains and the right moral compass that would have prevented all the bad things that have visited this planet since the start of the 21st century.
We can see that Abe Lincoln was pretty ugly and we're told he had a high, unpleasant voice. If alive today he'd be lucky to be elected dogcatcher in Toad Suck Ferry. I personally would cling to any voice telling the truth, spitting out the facts, and uncovering the dirt. The polished, well paid media world has just about ruined this country. David Gregory dancing and rapping with Karl Rove back in 2008 ruined him for me....for the rest of time.
Give me the truth no matter what you look like or sound like or by whatever medium even if it's cut out letters from 2 dozen newspapers ala a ransom note. We're dying from slick, we're dying from air-brained good looking, we're dying from dishonest journalism of every form.
Mostly we're dying from a lack of attention and understanding by the voters dumb enough to vote in Pryor, Boozman, Womack, Ross, Crawford, and Griffin. So any form of communication that will get a little more information into the heads of the fact-free voters might just save our arse in the future.
