I was thinking about my post from yesterday, and I was thinking about what a KUOW’s Conversation blog would look like.

It would be not at all like this, but this is as close as I could get for free in a couple of days.

The Conversation already kind of blogs because they send out an email with the day’s topic and a handful of links on the topic. This takes that email and adds a comment thread.

And, of course its actually a wiki, so if I miss a day to add the email of the day, someone else can come along and add it. I’ll try to keep up though.

You can also suggest and discuss show ideas, which is kind of pointless right now because no one actually reads this blog/wiki.

So, Radio Open Source is back. But, all I’m saying is that it’s not really back. Its a podcast with a blog, sort of like Jesse Thorn is Chris Lydon.

But, I’ve been thinking: what’s to stop other hour long recent topic public radio shows from posting their topics and possible guests on a blog five or so hours before the show is supposed to begin?

Why can’t say, KUOW’s the Conversation have a blog? So, instead of asking us to email in or call to “join the conversation,” we could post up and have a conversation on our own, justl like ROS 1.0?
