Jill Stewart Radio Segment
I just finished talking with Jill Stewart on KABC AM 790. It was a lot of fun. I even managed to get in a plug for Xrlq. If you heard it, let me know how you think it went. You can be honest; I give you permission.
In my experience, new readers rarely appear when the blog is mentioned on the radio (or in print, for that matter). But if there are any new readers coming here because of the radio segment I just did, the post immediately below this one is a pretty good example of the sort of media criticism I do here. If you like it, I hope you’ll bookmark the site.
Thanks again to Jill for the opportunity.
UPDATE: Jill just called to say that she and the producers were happy with the segment. [Like she would tell you if it was terrible. — Ed.] [Hey, back to Mickey Kaus’s blog where you belong, Ed.! — Patterico.] The funniest part is that the time slot is usually occupied by a liberal, so their switchboard was lined up with calls from crazies who were furious at Jill and myself. I laughed hard when I heard that . . .
First time I heard her show – think she replaced a fav of mine… Finally found out what BLOG is and why you folks are so important 2 us who want to hear the CORRECT version of stories…
First heard about BLOGGERS this year when the Dan Rather/GWB National Guard lie came to light.. Would love 2 hear/read more………
Have felt betrayed by paper media for several years….. always get my news from talk radio & Drudge!!!!

Patterico (756436) — 6/5/2005 @ 8:39 pmJill Stewart’s columns are must-reading; she’s really the sharpest commentator on California politics in the press these days. YOu should invite her to be a guest blogger. 🙂

Heard you on the radio Sunday and you have yourself a new reader. I just LOVE what you’re doing here.
