by CL STAFF
The Pulitzer Prize-winning Times columnist returned to the Saturday-morning AM airwaves around a year ago, and it was about time. Sure, we sometimes can go without the incessant name-dropping of actors or directors he once interviewed when working in Chicago back in the day, but nevertheless he’s well-prepared and entertaining even when there aren’t any callers contributing to his program.

So you’ve seen The Today Show, or Oprah, or Jerry Springer, and you’ve thought “hey, that could be me!” Well, except Jerry Springer – let’s hope you’ve never thought you could be Jerry. But anyway, being a talk show host looks like one of the most fun (not to mention most lucrative) jobs out there, if you ask me.

But how do you get a talk show? And how do you use it to make millions of dollars? Well, I can’t help with the second part (let me know if you figure it out), but I can help with the first. It’s called BlogTalkRadio, and is a fantastic Web app for becoming the host of your very own Internet talk show.
