As some of you may know, a few of us (including yours truly, thereisnospoon, hekebolos and theKK) have started Political Nexus, which we hope will serve as "netroots multimedia center" focusing on progressive political issues.
We have already recorded four segments of two shows, FrameWork which focuses on the framing behind various political issues, and Don't Hijack My Thread! which is an interactive discussion on five or six of the week's hottest political issues.
We are very excited to announce the start of our third regular show, "10 Minutes With...", where we spend 10 minutes getting to know a bit more about some of the biggest and brightest voices in the progressive political blogosphere.
Our initial show features fellow kossack and The Albany Project's co-founder Brian Keeler (NYBri), who is a blog hero to many of us of the left. Many of you also know that Brian also ran for state Senate in 2006 - making him the first true member of the blogosphere to run for major political office.
As some of you may be aware, Brian helped start not one, not two but three community blogs, including Political Nexus co-founder ePluribus Media, as well as The Albany Project.
In this first installment of "10 Minutes With...", clammyc and Brian talk about his 2006 run for New York State Senate, the work he is doing at The Albany Project as well as our experiences with the most excellent folks at ePluribus Media.

And Please check out Political Nexus for this and other interesting and in depth (but not too dry...) discussions on hot political issues, featuring clammyc, thereisnospoon and many others. We are updating our site regularly, with new shows of FrameWork on Monday nights, and new live, interactive shows of Don't Hijack My Thread! on Wednesday nights at 8PM EDT/5PM PDT (although we may make it a bit earlier because of Olbermann). We will also be rolling out videos and hopefully original political cartoons, in addition to a fourth show, which will be a 30 minute in depth discussion on certain issues - with guest co-hosts that you know and love.
