Blog Week in Review: Thom Shanker
The guest for this week's podcast is Thom Shanker, New York Times Pentagon correspondent. Thom and Austin Bay talk about the evolving practices of covering the US military at home and abroad. The "Ph.D. level war" in Iraq has introduced new challenges and requirements for journalists, from time away from home, to simply keeping up with the rapidly changing nature of conflict in the 21st century.
Produced by Ed Driscoll. Brought to you by Volvo USA.

1. Wildmonk:Just to clarify for your users. You do NOT have to click on the “GetStokd.com” image to hear the interview (if this is the ad that appears). I thought this was a video interview and clicked on the image thinking I’d enable the flash video
The intro Chick on the resulting site was beyond obnoxious…
The interview, though, was very illuminating. Despite some implicit disagreements between Austin and Tom, Tom is obviously a smart, committed journalist with an extraordinary wealth of knowledge and insight. Highly recommended!
