In what must be his longest-distance interview to date, Bob Edwards interviews astronauts Sandy Magnus and Mike Fincke aboard the International Space Station on January 12, 2009.

Hint to producers: Would have been nice to have a video feed from the studio for a split-screen… ;)

Note: This was my first experience working with the Windows Movie Maker and…um…I think I’ll stick to Studio and other much less “kludgie” programs…>

On the Internet OTR Digest, the subject of XM Satellite Radio has come up. Since it really isn’t directly on-topic, I suggested the discussion be moved here.

So feel free to discuss anything and everything about XM or satellite radio in general here…talk about radios, how well they work at home, which channel is better, anything you’d like, since here the discussion is as unfocused as the guy who runs the place…

To get you started, and maybe to rile some of you up, I point to my 2004 review of the RadioClassics channel…and no, I don’t think anything has changed since then. Also search the blog for my other comments and rants about the programming on XM (especially since the takeover of our Sirius overlords).

Just add your comments using the form below - while you need to register here on the blog, and your first post will need to be approved (it’s just to keep out the spammers who are constantly trying to sell their pharmaceuticals and smut), comments aren’t expected to “stay on-topic” as they are on the Digest…the only posts banned here are for inappropriate language, since while we’re all adults here, I’d rather not offend the kids that also read the blog.
