Lynne Lupien: Battle of the Blog Talkers post from the Left!

Hi, it’s your friendly podcaster Lynne of Left Ahead! and Left in Lowell, here to tell you all about
stranger-danger—oh, that’s not what I have to talk about? I need to plug my
“national debut”? OK then…

Our robust and august hosts at BlogTalkRadio
are teaming up with FOX News
Radio for a “Battle of the Blog Talkers” on FOX Across
America hosted by Spencer Hughes and carried on FOXNewsRadio.com and Sirius
XM Radio. From October 6th through the 9th at 2-3pm, four
liberal and four conservative BTR hosts will battle it out (with listener voting
via web and text) for two slots each side on the Friday, Oct 10th show, and one
winner from each “side” (liberal and conservative) from Friday’s show will get
the chance to join Spencer in co-hosting a special FOX News Radio Election 2008
series live from 8 to 9 a.m. EDT the week of October 20th.

It turns out these people are weird (insane? silly?) enough to invite me to
participate.

It so happens that I’m slotted for the Monday, October 6th show
(2pm), up against fellow liberal blogtalker Julie Pippert of MOMocrats.
Listeners will vote for whoever they think did the best that day, and the winner
will move on to the Friday slot with three other winners from the right and left
to the Friday show, from which winners of each side (by listener vote) will move
on to the week of October 20th morning show.

It’s sort of Survivor meets talking heads. If you talk good enough, they
might not vote you off the island.

On another note, we’ve been assured (repeatedly) that liberals will get a
fair shake on the shows. The format calls for uninterrupted time for each
contestant.

I know it’s sort of Crossfire-esque. On the other hand, it’s sort of like a
mini debate club event, and just maybe a lot of fun. That is, if I can keep from
talking a 100 miles a minute. I hope
I can count on your listening, and your vote (if you think I did the best
anyway!) on Monday afternoon!
