A few weeks ago, some people were noting how useless videos on ipods are. But hey how about drivetime, a weekly show by a guy on his way to work in Boston. Videocast?

This reminds me of Rekuytn and my attempts on an online weekly radio show (before podcast existed). Our show was about big issues in our time, namely politics and our views on the world. Pretentious of course. The biggest mistake we made was when we decided to do a show on the world of blogging. We had a guest on our show who bashed the very essence of blogs. Then somehow this encouraged me to start bashing journals/blogs that I saw unfit. I openly critiqued the blog, giving the url to the audience for reference. A lot of negativity followed me (online) for the following weeks, but hey it was my opinion.

Do weekly shows like this actually work? Would people really be interested? At the same time, we only like to read blogs of people we know. Only occasionally do people come upon a random blog and start reading. I try to do the latter, but sometimes I feel like it\’s not my place unless the blog is created for the purposes of being completely general. What then?
