Evidently, enough people were making podcasts, listening to them, or at least uttering the word podcast in everyday contexts to warrant the accolade. Despite occasioning a media sensation, the actual extent of podcasting is still unknown. According to a PEW Internet and American Life survey (Rainie and Madden, 2005) – still the most substantive publication about podcasting trends – approximately 6 million of the 22 million U.S.

  • Christopher Lydon's Topic
    The Transom Review Vol. 1/Issue 13 Christopher Lydon’s Topic About Christopher Lydon Christopher Lydon has been an unconventional voice in print and broadcast journalism for more than 30 years-covering presidential politics in the Washington bureau of the New York Times; anchoring the “Ten O'Clock News” on WGBH, public television in Boston; and as the founder and host of "The Connection" at WBUR since 1994. He "blends the expansiveness of the Renaissance thinker with a trademark Boston toughness," the Boston Globe observes. Born in Boston in 1940, he graduated from the Roxbury Latin School and Yale. Lydon ran for mayor of Boston in 1993 in a citizens' campaign for radical school reform. Christopher Lydon Links Christopher Lydon's Website www.christopherlydon.org "The Connection" Archives www.theconnection.org A Word From Jay Allison September 21, 2001 It may seem an odd time to focus on craft, but craft is often what gets you through. The ability to do the job well is always important, and especially in a crisis. Further, our chosen work -- radio -- is essential in any modern crisis. Much depends on our skill, more than we sometimes know. Certainly radio is important as a lifeline, a communication link, but also... for conversation, for connection. If you live within earshot of Boston -- or anywhere else “The Connection” aired under Christopher Lydon's hostship -- you know he is one of the finest practitioners of the radio talk show craft, ever. Copyright 2001 Atlantic Public Media The Transom Review – Vol.1/ Issue 13 There were days listening to that program where the primary response was a feeling of gratitude.

  • Forgotten Washington Senators of the 1950S ©Diamondsinthedusk.Com
    Forgotten Washington Senators of the 1950s ©DiamondsintheDusk.com “Washington: First in war, first in peace, and still last in the American League.” Baseball Hall of Fame sports writer Charley Dryden (right) coins the above utterance during the 1904 season, when the Washington Senators finished 38-113 and a distant 55 1/2 games behind the American League pennant-winning Boston Americans. For its first 11 years of existence, the luckless franchise in the nation’s capital does its best to live up (or down) to Dryden’s cynicism by finishing last, or second to last, in all but two of those 11 years. Even Washington’s entry into the ill-fated United States Baseball League in 1912, finishes in fifth place with a 6-7 record before the league ceases opera- tion in June. Forty years later, Washington’s “Boys of Summer” once again do themselves proud. From 1950 to 1959, the Senators finish as high as fifth only three times and seventh or eighth (in an eight-team league) six times, while going through three managers. Where in my previous “Forgotten” article, Pittsburgh’s 1960 World Championship team clearly had its genesis from some of the bad Corsair teams of the 1950s, Minnesota’s American League championship team in 1965, does not derive itself from the previous Forgotten Senators of the 1950s decade. Only five players (albeit five good players) - Bob Allison, Jim Kaat, Harmon Killebrew, Camilo Pas- Bob Usher, 1957 cual and Zoilo Versalles - played for the original Senators’ franchise.
