ABC 702 talks blogs, with me

Just off the phone from talking with ABC 702 breakfast presenter Sally Loan. A colleague of mine came in to my office and told me she was taking calls on the subject of blogs, so I called up without even thinking about it.

And to my surprise, I got on air … and thought ‘oh crap, now what do I say???’. It’s my first time on radio talkback, and I was talking about blogs. Cool.

I commented that I’d blogged both here and in the US. They asked about differences, and I said from a cultural perspective we can be more relaxed/casual etc.

I also disagreed with Sally’s in-studio guest, who didn’t think blogs were taking off in Australia. I argued that I’m reading at least 10 Aussie bloggers of interest to me, and there are hundreds more out there.

And I told her there was an Australian Blogging Conference coming up in Melbourne later this year. Mick, you owe me one mate.

Sally asked me to stay on the line to get more details on the conference, but I got cut off as the news kicked in. Oh well. Sally, if you or your colleagues by some miracle find this blog, check out the conference site here.

UPDATE: I just called the 702 producer and gave them the URL for the blogging conference. Now you really owe me one Mick!
