Those of us who are a part of BlogTalkRadio know we have a good thing here. The good news is, the rest of the world is finding out about us too.
Recently, we’ve had mentions in some very worthy publications, including The New York Times. Today, we add BusinessWeek.com to the list!
The article discusses how BTR got its start, our new funding, and how many leading companies are licensing branded stations.
I’ve seen many interviews and articles with CEO and Founder Alan Levy in the two months I’ve worked for BlogTalkRadio, and one thing is always clear: His passion and joy in his radio community shines through -and it’s that passion that will take us far.
The BW article offers an opportunity for readers to comment. I hope you’ll stop by and tell them what BlogTalkRadio means to you!

We’ve come to the end of the week, radio fans, but that doesn’t mean it’s the end of the line. There’s still so much going on at BlogTalkRadio.
Regulars to BTR know we’re more than just a website hosting radio segments, we’re a social radio community and network. Almost all of our segments feature chats and opportunities to call in, and our hosts would love nothing more than for you to stop by and participate. Stay tuned because we’ll be unveiling more ways for you to interact as a community. And remember, there’s plenty of opportunity to participate here at the BlogTalkRadio blog too! Tell us about your segments or favorite hosts in the comments or ask questions. If I don’t know the answer, I’ll find the person who does!

Nicholle Tom
You remember her as adorable teen Maggie Sheffield on The Nanny and Ryce Newton in the Beethoven flicks.
But now she’s all grown up – and dating an up-and-coming Hollywood hunk!
Paul McCarthy-Boyington
Earlier this week on Olivia Wilder Times, host Olivia Wilder was chatting with Nicholle Tom about the statuesque actress’ height when Nicholle mentioned her beau – who also stands 5-foot-7.
Intrigued, Olivia pressed Nicholle, 30, for a name and out it came: Paul McCarthy-Boyington.
TV fans know Paul from guest spots on such hit series as Alias, Crossing Jordan and The West Wing, but he’s also got a few feature films on the horizon.
Nice catch, Nicholle!
