Hi Dan, I've been watching, on and off, Northern Exposure, and soon to start Season 4. When I read of your interest in podcasting, I thought of the Chris Stevens character in Northern Exposure. He's the dj in Cicely, Alaska at KBHR 570 AM: a bit of music, some philosophy, a bit of plain talk and lots of good storytelling. There are many how could play this role. John Carl would be great. And maybe ian should convert 'Psybertron Asks' to a podcast. Would Horse want to start a MD podcast?
