Georgia Podcast Network

August 9, 2007. Lyons, GA -- Wilson Smith, Attorney at Law from Lyons, Georgia, decided "someone needed to keep an eye on politicians in general." So he commenced the dirty work by interviewing noteworthy folk in Georgia politics for the Lyons radio station, WLYU.

Now, Smith's political media inclinations have grown into a treasure trove of notables in Georgia news, media and politics -- with Smith's freewheeling interviews available as podcasts for listening at your desktop, or for downloading to your mobile device, on the newly-refurbished website and blog, WhatIsGoinOn. (http://www.whatisgoinon.com/)

Whether he's talking to Lt. Governor Casey Cagle about the upcoming Legislative session or a national political operative like Terry McAuliffe, Smith's genuine southern style and wit shines through with his skilled conversational tone, something woefully lacking in most contemporary political media.

Smith's fascination with new social media tools such as blogging and podcasting is also a big part of WhatIsGoinOn, as in-between political interviews and his work as an attorney he quizzes notable Georgia bloggers such as Erick Erickson and James Williams on their work in emerging new media.

Smith hired Rusty Tanton and Amber Rhea, co-creators of the award-winning Georgia Podcast Network, to create the new look and easy navigation of WhatIsGoinOn.

Not tired of hearing mine and Amber's voices yet? Head over to What Is Goin' On and listen to us explain the intricacies of podcasting to host Wilson R. Smith. Or, more accurately, listen to Amber explain the intricacies of podcasting and hear me mumble, stutter and occasionally interject a sentence fragment (I was still recovering from the flu when the interview was recorded).

The show featuring us aired last Thursday, Nov. 29th at 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. on WLYU in the Savannah/Lyons/Vidalia area. Here's a direct link to the audio file.

Thanks to Wilson for having us on! We hope to interview him on Mostly ITP in the near future. If you're not listening to his show, you should be, as he's quickly become the best interviewer of politicos in the state.

Tomorrow morning, Rusty and I are going to be interviewed for What Is Goin' On?, a radio show out of Lyons, Georgia. The interview will be about 30 minutes long, and we'll be discussing - you guessed it! - the Georgia Podcast Network. It'll air Thursday, Nov. 29th at 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. on WLYU in the Savannah/Lyons/Vidalia area. If you don't live close enough to get the station, the show will also be available on the web by Friday.

So if you just can't seem to get enough of our voices, be sure to tune in! Thanks to Wilson R. Smith and all the folks at What Is Goin' On? for inviting us to the show.
