Bill Frist's Podcast On Avian Flu

Instapundit Glenn Reynolds and Instawife Helen Smith started The Glenn and Helen Show podcast early this year.

It didn't take them long to score a major "get": Their latest show includes a podcast with Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, a Republican from Tennessee, which also happens to be where the Instaclan lives. Frist "talks about the threat of avian flu and new government programs to prepare for epidemics of all sorts," Reynolds wrote at Instapundit.

"I know that you've been interested in the evolving relationship between blogs and politicians," Stephen Smith of VOLPAC, Frist's political action committee, wrote in an e-mail to me, "and as far as I can tell, Senator Frist is the first prominent political figure to have ever been interviewed specifically for a podcast."

The latest Glenn and Helen Show also includes interviews with various bloggers who were at the Conservative Political Action Conference. Reynolds attended the event in Washington last week to promote his forthcoming book, An Army of Davids: How Markets and Technology Empower People to Beat Big Media, Big Government, and Other Goliaths.
