Last month, I had a long chat with Joshua Benton, a blogger for the Nieman Journalism Lab at Harvard. Josh was very familiar with The Sound, and wanted to know what I think about the future of journalism.
Of course, I barely think of myself as a journalist — pseudo-journalist and entertainer seem like better fits — but I’ve carved my own corner of the media world the hard way, so I was glad to share some of what I’ve learned.
Josh introduced this interview in this post. The rest of the interview is posted below, with links to the blog, which has transcripts (that embarrassingly include every “like” I uttered).
Part one: “Anything I can do to make a more profound connection with my audience is my job.”
Part 2: “On the future of radio and the benefits of being small.”
Part 3: “On gathering your online audience in the real world.”
