USA Today’s OnPolitics directs listeners to Newt

September 28, 2007

We welcome USA Today readers who’ve been pointed to BlogTalkRadio to hear Ed Morrissey’s exclusive interview with former House speaker Newt Gingrichnewt1.jpg that aired yesterday.

This interview comes at an interesting time, as USA Today puts it, there is speculation and “chances that [Newt] might get into the Republican race himself” for the Presidency in 2008.

The On Politics section of USA Today aims to be “the news, the people, the road to Election Day,” points readers to media coverage that will influence and inform our decisions in the 2008 election.

In the interview, Gingrich also discusses his Solutions Day initiative, which takes place tomorrow.

Listen to the archived interview on BTR’s Heading Right Radio here.

Ren And Stimpy’s Jessica Borutski on Zookers Radio

September 28, 2007

Remember Ren and Stimpy? Zookers Radio does, and they have animator Jessica Borutski on LIVE tonight.

Zookers Radio Program welcomes Jessica Borutski on tonight, September 28th, 7:00pm ET.

Borutski began her animation career working on Ren and Stimpy in Ottawa, for Spike TV, animating with pencil and paper. Computers, although invented by then, were not used. Which, to me, is crazy and I can’t wait to hear the story behind that.

Her career has taken her through animation studios such as Collideascope and Copernicus and given her new skills. With these new skills she created her first short film, “I Like Pandas” that was completed in 2005, and won best Flash Film for Frederator. Visit her site to see the video. It was also nominated in festivals such as Nick Toons and Platform (Cartoon Network).

In 2006, Borutski directed a series of music videos with Copernicus studios for Nickelodeon, soon to be released on Nick TV. She’s currently working at Fuel Industries as Lead concept artist and animator. Fuel Industries is one of the largest Adver-gaming companies in North America.

Her side projects include a new short film for next year?s Ottawa International Animation festival. You can check out Borutski’s blog for some great sketches.

If animation or adver-gaming is your thing, don’t miss this show. Borutski’s experience and background ensures this will be chock full of content.
