Michelle Malkin has started a new videoblogging venture for consersatives called Hot Air, described as "The world's first, full-service conservative Internet broadcast network."

While I'm sure I won't agree with the content, I think the graphics, sound quality and section layout are excellent. Watch Michelle's video to get a sense.

There are helpful links to podcasting tutorials on the site, but Hot Air appears to be far more professionally designed than what most of us can do at home. It's also got paid advertising.

As for the numbers, Instapundit and his wife Dr. Helen's 13 audio podcasts have been downloaded over 3 million times.

Liberals need to be doing more of this. BloggingHeads TV is one site, but it has no visual appeal. And it's just two talking heads, with no graphics or pizzaz. Current TV is another site, but it has lots more than politics and seems geared to video artists rather than bloggers.
