That’s the new website and initiative from Pajamas Media. Please have a look at the beta site and give us your comments.
Also have a listen to my podcast interview with Ambassador Daniel Ayalon – The Israeli Ambassador speaks to the blogosphere in a time of war.
As you might guess, it was a remarkable experience.

1. LemonDrop:Ahhhh, Roger. Podcasts are not my friends. I am deaf, and as such…cannot benefit from them. I value the written word.
Are we getting away from the beloved, written word for the PODCAST? It reminds me of getting an e-card when a written letter is so much better…..
Just my two worthless cents.
*sigh*
Jul 17, 2006 - 6:50 am 2. Roger:We are not getting rid of the written word. There will be transcripts of podcasts. Both comng
Jul 17, 2006 - 6:52 am 3. David Thomson:Pajamas Media is going in the right direction. The pod casts are a nice addition. It might also be a good idea to eventually copy the Blogging Heads TV concept of Mickey Kaus and Robert Wright.
Jul 17, 2006 - 7:19 am 4. Roger:Many videos to come. Watch the site.
Jul 17, 2006 - 7:29 am 5. MikeD:Roger,
While I am sure the podcast is timely and well worth viewing you have to remember there are still a lot of us out here where the “slow modem” is all that is available (and at that not terribly reliable). A transcript is certainly welcome later but given my ISP and its infrastructure 11+MB is about a 40 minute download and at the moment subscribing to a satellite system is not cost effective. Still, I guess it is the wave of the future. Great coverage this weekend, by the way. PJM was the go-to site.
Jul 17, 2006 - 8:26 am 6. Roger:MikeD, a simplified low-fi version of the Ayalon interview for dial-up modems is being prepared and will be on the site soon.
Pajmas Media at your service.

The technical quality of the podcast itself was excellent. but I honestly can’t say I learned anything new from Ayalon that I hadn’t already heard in any of the umpeenth other back-to-back-to-back television, radio and print interviews that he’s given with the so-called MSM. Not your fault, really — I just don’t think there’s anything more he could add right now.
In other news, Michael Totten turned comments back on.
And over at Kishkushim (http://kishkushim.blogspot.com/), they’re providing some of the best up-to-date info on what’s going on in Haifa that I’ve found. The pic they just posted of a notebook computer on the floor in the windowless apartment hallway says much.
Jul 17, 2006 - 9:08 am 8. LemonDrop:Thank you Roger for not getting rid of the written word. Transcripts, blogs and subtitles save my day!
Again-thanks.
Jul 17, 2006 - 3:27 pm 9. reliapundit - the astute blogger:great!
Jul 17, 2006 - 4:54 pm 10. Sissy Willis:Good stuff. ‘Glad to hear there will be transcripts, though — much easier to cut and paste for citations:
“It’s a matter of results”
Jul 17, 2006 - 9:20 pm 11. diane:Looking very good, but please please please set up the podcasts for subscription through iTunes.
Jul 18, 2006 - 4:49 am 12. Roger:iTunes coming. We already have for the Blog Week in Review. And of course the Glenn and Helen Show has. All Politics Central podcasts willhave shortly.
