There’s a good interview with Chris Lydon of Radio Open Source in today’s Boston Globe. Here’s how it ends:

IDEAS: I want to get back to your take on mainstream media. Couldn’t it be that print media has gotten weaker because electronic media and the Internet are getting stronger?

LYDON: I think about it all the time. Let me put it this way: The rise of blogging comes with the still mysterious collapse of traditional voices around the war in Iraq, the inexplicable silence in Congress and big media around what had folly written all over it. Where are the grownups, I wondered, the people with memory?

Good question. Not to mention that Chris gets an Emerson reference into his very first answer.

Chris’ show is an excellent podcast, by the way. Take a look at the list of recently aired shows and if you can’t find something that’s interesting to you, well, you’re no fun at all :)

(Harvey Blume did the Globe interview, and it’s excellent. But the drawing of Chris doesn’t look like him.) [Tags: christopher_Lydon media radio radio_open_source]
