New podcast.
I talk aimlessly about:
* What the podcast is and isn’t
* “Grindhouse” Review
* Imus being fired and black conservatives
* “Questions swirl”
E-mail comments to owillis@gmail.com or call-in to 206-666-6623 and I’ll play your message/question on-air.

That’s a terrifying picture.
You seriously need to hire a photographer (a good one) for your publicity shots. They’re amazingly bad.
My suggestion would take one of 2 divergent tracks:
1. For God’s sake, try to look happier. If an outright smile is too much, a snarkily raised eyebrow, suggesting just that there is still some joie de vivre left in the author along with perhaps a frisson of irreverence, would be a good touch.
Or, failing 1,
2. Go for a full on “I hate the world and everything in it” motif, squint angrily at the viewer and point at the camera while wearing a business suit a la O’Reilly, or grit your teeth and clutch a writing implement (or a keyboard) showing your readiness to fight the world with your weapon of choice.
Those are sound suggestions. Maybe you need a gimmick, too, like a chest insignia or some sort of smiting implement.
Congrats on your first podcast! It was funny, insightful, and to the point. I really enjoyed your read of the Imus/Rutgers controversy as well. As far as your picture goes … *shrugs* I’ve seen worse if that helps. *chuckles*

I’m tired of repeating myself: these aren’t fucking publicity shots. I’m not some rich pundit. I’m a dumb kid with a webcam and a shot I made in the back of a car. Christ, people focus on the silliest things. I’m just gonna use the picture of me with my head in a pineapple from now on.
