Light On Light Through

You'll hear a little of this and lot of that on Light On Light Through - my reviews of great television series and movies, my interviews with authors and creative media people and their interviews of me, my media theory and political commentary, thoughts about my favorite cars and food and space travel, discussions of my music, and a few of my readings from my science fiction stories. In the first years, starting in 2006, I put up a new episode at least once a month.  More recently, it became more or less often than once a month, usually less often.  But in the Summer of 2020, I began getting more in the mood to podcast, and on 17 October 2023, I began publishing a new episode of the podcast every Tuesday at 12:01 pm -- a minute after Noon (New York time).  - Paul Levinson

Elective Media

Nov 7, 2006

A special Election-Day Episode of Light On Light Through - Episode 6 - Elective Media, in which I discuss the shift in the way we get our news and election coverage - from network news which attracted 50 million Americans in the 1980s and is lucky to reach 25 million now, to cable news which is growing but still attracts only 5 million Americans, to ... well, you're no doubt part of this revolution, which includes YouTube, blogs, and podcasts...

Find out why I think these developments in media are making for good days in democracy, whatever the results of today's election...

Enjoy!
