Brian Lehrer, the popular host of WNYC's Peabody Award-winning "Brian Lehrer Show," hosts a live, hour-long weekly television program web-extravaganza through CUNY TV.
The Brian Lehrer Show on WNYC was cited for being true "community-building radio," a shrewd blend of news analysis, civil conversation and call-ins that brings together the city`s wildly diverse citizenry.
Just like the WNYC show, Brian Lehrer Live on CUNY TV will be trying to get at the truth about life and politics in New York City. But unlike the radio, we are focusing through the lens of the new media empire forming on the web: Bloggers, reporters and pundits forming an unprecedented level of access to information and a whole new set of news challenges. The show examines the affect that internet has had on our daily lives, from candidates fund-raising online to community groups e-organizing, and we want you to come participate in carving out a niche in how the web affects the news. The show will continue to provide the direct access to major news makers that you've come to expect from someone like Brian Lehrer. We'll also invite people to send in photos and original videos that say something meaningful about life in New York today. And, as on the radio, we'll find our ways to sneak in some fun!"
The program is cablecast in New York City on Wednesdays from 7: 30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., and is simulcast live and archived online at www.cuny.tv. We want your original content! Submit an idea for a segment, a guest, or your own home grown video to us through our website at http://bllblog.org
To interact with guests and offer your opinion about topics discussed on the show, call (212) 251-0801 on Wednesday evening from 7: 30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
I listen to Brian Lehrer... Wow, I love that guy. I love the show. – Jon Stewart (in a speech at a New Yorker Magazine forum)

They are all heroes to me. Especially Seth MacFarlane!
Jay Smooth's videos are found at the Official Site and on YouTube.
Regarding his recent video I can think of nothing else to say but WORD!
On second thought, I'll add that the Dance Hall genre and Jamaica have a lot of baggage also.
If I were Leni Riefenstahl I'd be on the payroll of some nasty conservative PR firm or another.
Keep in mind I made this ad before Hurricane Katrina.
It was also before the Bush PR hacks tried to hijack the whole "World War II" thing. I did see that one coming.
Too bad I don't have a corollary for Earthquake Defense!

30 Rock on Hulu: Season 2 Episode 15
Kudos to 30 Rock & Tina Fey for using the real, failed defense project "The Gay Bomb" in the show. You can't even make that stuff up!

Article by Matt Mason on TorrentFreak
Pirates are innovators, they signal market problems and lead the way to new business models. Nevertheless, they are tagged as thieves by many. We invited Matt Mason to write an article on the pirate’s dilemma for TorrentFreak.
Mason discusses why piracy can be an opportunity as well as a threat, how pirates
innovate outside of the marketplace and how legitimate businesses can respond.
Current TV just put up an interview I did a few months back with Brooklyn producers John Carluccio and Mark Kotlinkski - They dug up some cool slides I haven’t seen before. Mark also has a production outfit called 88 Hip Hop which does some great stuff - look for his film The Mural Kings about legendary graffiti artists TATS CRU - which is well worth checking out.
Cranky geeks vidcasts Wednesdays from the Site.
- John Dvorak (dvorak dot org slash blog take a drink) is cranky as always
- Sebastian Rupley is cheerfully there as usual
- Adam Curry (and hair) comes out as a Tory
- Leo Laporte gives makeup advice then pownces
The controversial stuff happens just before the show ends.
I for one hope Adam follows his heart and votes Republican in the next election. From Iraq.
Adam may wish to recuse himself rather than blather on about Lessig whilst hiding conflicts of interest...
