Recently I have learned of a superb new televison station called current. The premus is that the viewers shoot pods and then online all the viewers can vote on what they believe would be something interesting to watch on TV. Its like the GOOD magazine of TV. Finally some one has the decentcy to make the tube more democratic, and open up a two way conversation. I strongly encourage everyone to watch! Kudos Al Gore for founding Current. By the way the website is www.current.tv
