Has anyone from NPR called to interview you or
do you know if they have done a story on the Lost phenomenon that includes all these message boards, forums, and podcasts? If not, I think it would be an interesting story for All Things Considered.

Has anyone from NPR called to interview you or do you know if they have done a story on the Lost phenomenon that includes all these message boards, forums, and podcasts? If not, I think it would be an interesting story for All Things Considered. That's actually a pretty good idea; I'd thought about that but I still think podcasting is relatively new, and a lot of people haven't heard about it. The only trouble I spot about it is that Lost isn't original in its 'phenomenon' status. Granted, it's a huge show and all, but other shows have certainly garnered the type of audience you're talking about - Buffy is one that comes to mind that certainly had the internet presence, as did both Firefly and Farscape, which were saved from cancellation by their extremely vocal fans. Firefly in the form of the film Serenity, and Farscape in the form of the 4-hour "Peacekeeper Wars" miniseries. Certainly the X-Files was another. Granted Lost is probably more popular thans any of those among the general public, but what I really mean is that it may be too similar of a story to the others, which might dilute interest in it by organizations like NPR. Then again, I could be utterly wrong.  |

Well, I can tell you that I've not been interested in any other show like this one for a long long time. Back then, there was no internet and no podcasting. Hey, Clif, I heard you on Ryan and Jen's podcast. You sound good. Think I'll tune in to hear what the women have to say.  |

I listen to Cliff's podcast. He takes ages to explain simple things, but has some theories I agree with.

Hey, Clif, I heard you on Ryan and Jen's podcast. You sound good. Think I'll tune in to hear what the women have to say. No, that's not me. You have no idea how much that vexes me, either. There aren't exactly tons of people named Cliff, so I was a bit surprised to say the least! |
