Mainstreaming podcasts: First the Queen. Now Blair
First the Queen podcasted her Christmas message, and now Tony Blair appears on a podcast interview with actor Stephen Fry. The State of the Union address and the Democrats' response are both available (for free) in iTunes. And presidential hopeful John Edwards even has his own widget.
Politics as usual have changed, and the medium for its delivery is moving with the times. In a kind of humorous aside, that doesn't mean Mr. Blair has moved with it. Unlike his colleagues, his famous "red box" does not contain a laptop--instead, he says he plans to learn about computers after leaving Number Ten. TUAW recommends the MacBook Pro.

Stephen Fry is a real Mac disciple and never misses a chance to wax lyrical on the subject of Apple.
