The Pundit Succumbs

Let hypocrisy reign!

After railing against MySpace.Com repeatedly since the advent of the viral internet phenomenon I have succumbed- well, sort of.

The collection of so-called friends that have never actually been met, the hounds trolling for sex, and the non-stop basking in personal fame that permeates the personal pages still turns me off. But the ability to connect a small radio project with its audience was too much to resist. So we’ve created a page for MPR: Mad Pundit Radio on the dreaded beast.

www.myspace.com/madpundit is now the online headquarters for our little Saturday afternoon talk show on Atlanta’s 640 WGST.

It’ll be nice to have a place for listeners to correspond with us and amongst themselves. We’ll preview each show with topic lists, as well as solicit topics from our faithful friends who will be encouraged to let us know what they’d like to hear us pontificate upon on upcoming broadcasts.

The most important reason for making the move to My Space is to help get our live shows, the mythic Pundit Panels, back on track. We had a great time doing live shows back in ‘04 and it’s high time we got that insanity back in gear. Our plan is to move the live shows from local bars to college campuses in an effort to get a more engaged audience, and we’re hoping that the viral marketing of My Space will help us fill the shows with enthusiastic audiences.

We’ll see.
