Conservative Videoblogging Network Debuts

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.

    Thanks for the kind words, Jeralyn. As always, you're a class act. Let me know if and when you try a podcast and I'll link (with a stern warning to our readers not to troll).

    Don't forget about the great work that The Young Turks are doing. They are podcasting and vlogging their show daily. Their shows are excellent with some of the best guests and discussions around. Also Politics TV is getting up to speed now:

    I guess this is the conservative answer to crooks and liars

    What I love about the name is how clueless it seems to be. Like the censors who wouldn't accept the South Park movie's first title, then completely missed the obvious penile point of the title they accepted -- South Park: Bigger, Longer, Uncut.
