One of our earliest inspirations in this blogging business was Chris
\n Lydon, who bounced back from getting shafted by WBUR<\/a> by becoming a force
\n in the New Media, and the effort to break the major media monopoly on
\n America’s minds.<\/p>\n

We are not embarrassed about being jealous of his many and varied
\n talents – the encyclopedic memory, the rapier wit, the ability to gently
\n but doggedly draw his subjects out, the mellifluous voice and stentorian
\n air. His recent successes stand in stark contrast to the mess upstairs
\n at
\n WBUR<\/a>. <\/p>\n

An article in today’s New York Times<\/a> reviews
\n Chris’ new show: “Open Source”<\/p>\n

\n

With its long reliance on talk formats and call-in programs, radio
\n was arguably the first open-source media form. Now a new Public Radio
\n International
\n program, "Open Source from P.R.I.," will test whether the
\n collective intelligence permeating the Web can make not just loud radio,
\n but smart
\n radio. Not only does the program pull from unfiltered voices and opinions
\n found on blogs, Open Source uses its
\n own blog<\/a> (www.radioopensource.org<\/a>)
\n to cull ideas and sources from its listeners.<\/p>\n

Listeners are invited to make suggestions on Open Source’s blog, where
\n they are openly posted along with ideas from the program’s five producers.
\n When the comment flow starts and suggestions are made – including recommendations
\n for guests – the audience can watch the program come together, sometimes
\n over the course of a week, other times in an afternoon.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Definitely worth a listen. The show is available in live streaming format or as a downloadable podcast at the Open Source web page<\/a>.<\/p>\n
