Journalism Conference

I was with a small group of writers and radio journalists at a party after a seminar or conference of some sort. We were hanging out with Ted Leitner, local sports commentator. His limo, a fat white caddy, came to take us all back to the hotel. I had an MP3 recorder, so asked if he would answer some questions on the record. He agreed and I conducted an interview that included a couple of tough questions about his time as a political commentator/activist. When I was done he congratulated me on an excellent interview. He felt it was tough but fair, and that I didn't try to spin anything he had to say. I explained that I was really trying to bring some real reporting skills and journalism skills to my little online empire. He liked the SNNS policy of making the original interview material available as well as the written "good parts" portion.
A couple of the folks with us asked if I had job openings in SNNS. Ted jokingly asked if he could come in a do some interviews for us. I said of course he was more than welcome, I'd even make a special place for him. Then I realized he wasn't really joking. Very cool.
