Meet the Bloggers?

posted by bryan

Does anyone know if Cenk is still doing Meet the Bloggers?  Regard less, I like the way Uyger goes for it, even it does not always work out.

No (none / 0)

Cenk mentioned in passing that he wasn't doing MTB anymore but he didn't go into detail about it.

It sucks (none / 0)
And it's stunning to me that a show with TOP NOTCH progressive guests (does it get any better than Maddow, Michael Moore and John Cusack?) and really nice production values could go under so quickly.

My only thought is that it wasn't strongly promoted. I would've liked for Greenwald to do the progressive talk radio circuit to let everyone know about the great new show, etc.  The sad fact is the majority of people who would've loved/liked the show never even knew it existed.

Oh well, live and learn I guess.

loved the guests, and I love Cenk, but I didn't like the format. I would rather just see a straight interview between Cenk and guest, sort of ala Charlie Rose.

Nice to hear from you. And check your PM's already!

he was pretty clear that it wasn't making money. I'll speculate that they started off with large expenses prior to building a solid listenership. TYT didn't spring up overnight, after all. But that's just a guess.

I prefer to think it's on hiatus (none / 0)

Slightly delusional, I know but the concept is so strong it will happen. I just hope Cenk will reconsider doing it, even if it's on a smaller scale. I enjoyed the older format of MTB as well.

The thing is, if the Turks don't do it then it's only a matter of time before someone else does. I know TYT has a full plate but I hope reviving MTB, in some format, is under consideration.
