PS - The clips in this podcast are short and to-the-point. If you'd like to sample my longer ramblings and analyses of television, politics, movies, new tech, science fiction, food, hybrid cars, and who knows what else, try my Light On Light Through podcast - more or less weekly commentaries, usually 20-25 minutes long.
I'm proud to be on the May 8 page of this calendar, with the following quote: "What begins as a seemingly innocent campaign against indecency . . . always segues in short order into political censorship."
If you'd like to really live dangerously, and listen to my music, check Paul Levinson over in PodSafe music (actually, it's not that dangerous ... just my folk rock, psychedelic pop records from the 1960s, now in digital ... I wrote the lyrics and some of the music, and do the vocals)...
I go head-to-head with Bill O'Reilly on The Factor about the private lives of newscasters.
I think an important part of your Rome review was addressing that what is in Shakespeare that we might like to believe is history might not actually BE history. I feel like a lot of people hold the belief of what they know from Shakespeare, and hold those variations in HBO's Rome against the show. Of course, many couldn't care less about the historical value and are enjoying the entertainment. Nothing wrong with that.
