Today at 1 PM EST, I (Ross Levin) will be interviewing Reverend Billy, who is running for mayor of New York City as a green, on our brand new blogtalkradio channel. Feel free to listen over your computer or by phone or right here!

If you have any questions you would like me to ask, let me know!
The number to call in to listen is 646-200-0264.
Eastern Time, I assume?
That would be in about nine minutes.
Yeah, in a few minutes.
Listening now
Hey Ross, I called in, do you see me in the call queue?
No I’ll check
Must be my computer, but all I get is “buffering”.
Got it now.
Lost it again…darn ‘puter.
I think it works better on blogtalkradio
Ross, you can use a cell phone to call him.
Paulie will need the password too.
I’ve called in Paulie.
I don’t have the PIN yet
I’ll wait patiently.
It takes a bit of finagling to figure the system out. My first few shows were very uneven. I am sure Ross will do great.
Show is back on – Rev, Billy should be on soon
Sorry this is so rough. There was some trouble at Rev. Billy’s campaign and I didn’t entirely know how to use the radio thing.
You’re doing fine Ross. Keep your eyes on the phone-in so you can bring him on as soon as he shows up.
Yes, I hear you Paulie.
Well, Reverend Billy ran out of time to do a live interview but we’ll post an email interview sometime in the next week and hopefully we’ll be able to actually do some interviews over the radio in the near future. If you have anyone you’d like us to interview, let us know!
Me, Ross and Gregg ended up talking. Some interesting conversations…some dead air gaps tho
If anyone else listens to it, I’d be interested in your take on the issues discussed. Some of the discussion takes place after significant dead air gaps.
Is there a way to listen to it after it is over? Looking forward to hearing some IPR interviews; definitely a great way to gain exposure for relevant campaigns and issues.
Nevermind I got it to work. I think that the buffering didn’t work the first time.
Yes, you should be able to listen to it on blogtalkradio.
Just listened to it again…
Some really good topics if anyone can make it through all the pauses…
