I just came back from Chris Lydon’s new radio-Net show, called “Open Source.” Doc, Dave and I were the first guests.

Chris and his team, including long-time producer Mary McGrath, are trying to do something new. They take seriously that one-way broadcasting is the solution to a problem we no longer have. Chris is even more besotted with the Web than he sometimes lets on. He’s open to ideas about how to make it more open, more Webby, more integrated with the Web. This show will be an interesting experiment…not a statement one can say about many shows you find on your radio dial.

Afterwards, Mary cracked open champagne to celebrate the first episode in Chris’ new show. It was a privilege to be a little part of that.

(Here’s Chris’ blog entry about the show. The podcast of it should be available within hours.) [Technorati tags: media Lydon]
