Today's a special Rebooting the News show for a few reasons. 

1. It's a holiday. 

2. NYU is closed. 

3. Jay is out. 

4. We have a guest. 

5. I'm the engineer. 

6. It's at 10AM not noon. 

7. We're using Talkshoe. 

With any luck up to 250 people will be able to listen live.  

Rex Hammock, a pioneering blogger and magazine publishder, and a longtime friend, will be my guest today.  

Now I'm still looking for a checklist for hosting a show.
