Issue Oriented has been nominated for another award, and we need your votes! This time we've been nominated for "Best Podcast" in the 2008 Weblog Awards. We're up against crazy shows like This American Life and that damn Harry Potter podcast that won the Podcast Awards last year. (We were robbed!) Unfortunately we found out about this nomination four days after voting opened, and so we're way behind in the polls. If you enjoy Issue Oriented and think it's worth what you pay for it, please show your support by casting a vote every day until voting closes. Vote below every day through 1/13! http://2008. weblogawards. org/polls/best-podcast/
