I have never heard Fair Game with Faith Salie before. Until now. It feels directly influenced by the informal, playful, irreverent style of podcasting, yet another example of how new media, the culture of the blog and the podcast is influencing mainstream media.
My local NPR Public Radio affiliate, WAMU 88.5, is now showcasing this amazing new, amazingly hip new radio show, described as, “a new satirical news and entertainment program … hosted by Faith Salie, possibly the only Rhodes Scholar doing comedy today … Fair Game covers the important stories of the day and uses insightful humor to tease out what it all means. The show also features newsmaker and celebrity interviews, live music, and regular appearances by the country’s best comedians. Think of it as a variety show for the highest common denominator.” Bloody edgy, brilliant, and almost as good as a cutting-edge podcast — in fact, there is a podcast!. Topical, sexy, and funny.
