Hi All,Just came across an interesting site that I never heard of before. Bloggingheads.tv.
What is Bloggingheads you ask? Great question. And here's the answer! Blogginheads.tv was founded in 2005 as the first website devoted to split screen video dialogue about politics and ideas. Its early mission statement was to " be in one sense an unusual expression of the Internet. Almost all blogs have a dominant ideology and a fairly homogeneous comments section to match. We pride ourselves on having a diversity of views in our diavlogs and an accordingly diverse comments section, where thoughtful disagreement is expressed in civil terms. (OK, usually thoughtful, and usually civil.)”
So there you have it...video discussions on various political topics and on 'big topic' issues. Click on this link to learn more about the background of Bloggingheads.tv.
The Bloggingheads.tv homepage has links to various programs like: Culturally Determined, DMZ, Drezburt, Foreign Entanglements, Glenn Show, Global Dispatches, Rational Actors, Science Faction and the Wright Show.
Other informative links include a whole bunch of archived programs on various topics: 10th Anniversary, 5th Anniversary, Democracy in America, Free Will, Washington Squares, Pros and Conn, Values Added and The Score.
The format of the videos is basically two people talking on a split screen. Videos are roughly anywhere from 45 minutes to over an hour on the topic you chose. Sometimes video quality is 'less than stellar' but you will get the idea that the blogging heads are talking about.
Its an interesting take on the 21st century of free speech. People are talking and videoing on a whole wide variety of important topics! Basically this is like talking on a stump in front of a crowd in the eighteenth or nineteenth century!
Enjoy the videos and the discussions and the wide variety of topics!
Regards,
Stu
