JOHN HAWKINS INTERVIEWS HUGH HEWITT: Who, unlike, say, Rush Limbaugh, seems to really understand the blogosphere, though he requires editorial correction on professional wrestling. Here’s an interesting bit:

The smarter the host, the better the show, the greater the audience. Knucklehead radio is going to go away and in its place…if I were a thirty year old like you, I’d find a radio show to match with my blog because the synergy is overwhelming.

Good advice.

UPDATE: A couple of readers email that I’m unfairly smearing Limbaugh — they say he’s been citing blogs a lot lately. That’s news to me, but I’m not a regular listener (as much blogging as I do, talk radio isn’t much of a distraction, and I only listen to radio in the car anyway). I heard him describe what a blog was once a while back, and the description didn’t give the impression that he was very familiar with them, but that’s been a while.

Other readers suggest that Neal Boortz’s program notes page should get a mention. Yeah — if he just linked to all his items, he’d have a true blog.
