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/

It's time for the goodness. Ronen talks to F*UCKED UP's Mike Haliechuk (a.k.a. 10,000 Marbles) and Josh Zucker (a.k.a. Concentration Camp a.k.a. Gulag) about misinformation, friendship and soooo much more. Then Ronen talks to POISON THE WELL guitarist Ryan Primack about the band's upcoming (J. Robbins-produced) full length, the economics of band survival and more. Ryan even turns the tables, surprising Ronen with a question of his own.

This episode also features TWO debut tracks from the new band DETOURNEMENT, featuring members of THE RATCHETS, LIFETIME, ENSIGN, BIG WIG and more!

Had a great talk with Ryan Primack from Poison The Well about all kinds of great stuff. He even turned the tables and asked me a question or two. It was awesome. Make sure to tune into episode 37 of Issue Oriented when it premieres at the end of the month.!
