Alas, because of the way the Beard folks announced the nomination, I am forced to go around pointing out that the multi- in multimedia is that the Reader also entered my two Sky Full of Bacon podcasts following Sula and his hogs around, which can be viewed here: http://skyfullofbacon.com/blog/?p=189
Mike G, your videography in those more recent installments was as integral as Sula's reporting. It is a well-deserved nomination.
Does anyone else find it ironic that the guy on the Beard Foundation seal, in addition to having no beard, is also almost completely bald?
