The New Media Diva

Am I the only person shocked by the “shock and awe” of the news that Karzai’s bro is on the CIA payroll?

In any case, I’m more interested in how Russia Today is using Skype for an interview. When the studio isn’t available, we use Skype plust WireTap Studio for recording (audio) podcasts. Cool to see the quality of Skype video.

In the latest edition of ISN Podcasts, I interview Parag Khanna from the New America Foundation on the geopolitics of Libya:

Libya’s membership in the international arena is still being defined, but as Parag Khanna of the New America Foundation tells the ISN, its role as a geopolitical player is important for now and the future.

“Your neighbor would love to chat with you.”

In the latest edition of ISN Podcasts, I interview Professor Arthur S Hulnick about the future of open source intelligence (OSINT). Interestingly enough, even though the term “OSINT” is being batted around today like it’s something new, the act of gathering and analyzing freely available information for intelligence purposes isn’t.

Chaz in Warrior I / Virabhadrasana (I think)

I’ve been spending a ridiculous amount of time on the scouring the iTunes store for video podcasts, specifically for yoga.

I think I’ve hit gold with Chaz Rough’s Yogamazing podcasts.

Chaz has a fabulous personality and teaching style that the camera and mic love. He’s warm, down-to-earth and normal.

Let me repeat, normal.

That’s really hard to find in yogadom.:-)

I’ve just finished his 20 min session on tight hamstrings, which included a fairly good amount of warrior pose work. *I’m not a fan of any warrior poses at all (because of my tight hamstrings and thighs…circular argument, I know), but Chaz kept things to a manageable, although challenging level.

Chaz has free video podcasts available in the iTunes store. He also has some longer form ones available for purchase on his site.

You can also follow him on Twitter.

_{*Will I be sent to yogahell for saying that I don’t like some of the poses?:-)}
