You're Soaking In It!
I'm catching up on some feeds and podcasts while watching the game tonight (which is in OT!). I'm a pretty regular listener of Adam's and was mildly entertained when, earlier this week, he featured excerpts of Madge Weinstein, and he podcast a phone interview with "her". Apparently Madge is really Richard Bluestein (name dropped in the latest Trade Secrets), according to this reference. I'm surprised to find out that Adam and Dave didn't think Madge was an act before today; Madge seemed way over-the-top to me (and certainly like a man) the first time I heard "her". In the referenced TS podcast, they both seem miffed that someone would present a false persona as real in the blogosphere/podosphere.
It would probably be nice to know what's real and what's scripted in this community, but, like many things online, you gotta take it at face value. I think I have more of a problem with Dave and Adam being miffed at Madge (indeed, appearing to subscribe to the notion that "non-real" blogging/podcasting should be noted as such) than the fact that Madge is an act.
