»ARCHIVED TALK
Meta Media Plaudits

Posted November 20, 2005

KSTP 1500 AM has been doing something called "Reality Radio" where people around town compete to get their own talk radio show. Dave of Doodledee has done a couple episodes, and this week asked me to be a guest and talk about MNspeak. I've uploaded an MP3 of the show, which came out to about 23 minutes in length (sorry about the quality -- it's AM!). Thanks Dave, and good luck with the show. Also, the Sunday Strib gave us a "Website of the Week" honors. Quotes inside. And finally, I'm told that Mpls St Paul Magazine has us penned in as "Blog of the Year," but I haven't seen it yet.


I can't find it online, so from the print edition of the Strib:

"At first, we were loath to admit we could possibly learn something new from some upstart local site. Then we started to, about every day. A definite 'add to favorites' contender for Twin Cities scene-watchers." -- Kristin Tillotson

I'm not sure if that's faint praise, be we'll take it.

What is so great aboutn MN Speak is that it is the only news source that contains all Twin Cities news. No World section, that's what I like most.

Regarding KSTP, I am amused because I think if you put Bob Davis or Kris Kroc on the Next Best Thing, neither one would get a call back.

I wonder how all these new Strib readers will respond to our next KK ithread.

For the archive, here's the Mpls. St. Paul magazine award text:

"Web designer Rex Sorgatz's blog, mnspeak.com, didn't get Dan Rather fired (though it did earn Garrison Kellor's ire when it sold those 'Prairie Ho Companion' T-shirts). It's just done what any great media does: become a daily routine. Serving as a local media curator and referee, it is both idiosyncratic, with daily links to Sorgatz's must reads (for better or for worse), and all-encompassing: Click on the Aggregator to find more than 200 locally based blogs sorted chronologically, alphabetically, by subect, and, most ingeniously, by personal set of criteria."
