In this episode: we tested out a new show format for the Richmond News Review - live podcasting with listener call-in participation. It was a little rough around the edges compared to the usual podcast, but we did have a few callers as we prepped for the Presidential debate, and we talked about what this kind of broadcast means for media and information exchange in Richmond.  Enjoy!
