It's only rock 'n' roll. Or not.
Two new cross-platform experiments:
* Columnist Lorraine Ahearn not only writes like a dream, she's easy on the ears, too. She reads two of her columns here.
* The fun part of the Guilford County Board of Commissioners' meeting last night is here. The file from the video of the meeting is large and is not the entire meeting. But these are some of the good parts. Thanks to Channel 13 Government Television for the tape. (Be patient. It may take a little while to download.) Here's our reporter's story about the meeting.
Two different ways we're trying to add and aid the discussion. Let me know what you think.

Hi John,
I like that you guys are experimenting with coverage methods. Can you explain more about what went into the idea and decision to have Ahearn podcast her columns?

You know, I'm not sure. She had been talking with the local public radio station about doing it and asked if we were interested. At least, I think that's close.
One of the interesting things happening is bottom-up organic growth of good ideas.

Thanks for making the video available. For those of us w/o cable, it is a shame that we can not witness (except in person) the comedy show we call government.

Joe, JR's version, albeit a little compressed, is correct. She had had some recordings around for some time, but I didn't know this until two Fridays ago, when I heard one for the first time and thought, "Geez. That's a podcast." Lorraine and Taylor Webster from our Interactive department did the rest.
And newsroom technology maven Herb Everett gets the credit for editing and posting the video with his personal Mac.
