Eckstein discussed his struggle to freelance in this grim economy, delivering a cartoonist’s take the day’s biggest headlines: the Yahoo/Microsoft partnership, Sarah Palin’s possible radio show, and the payment model at the topic-oriented web publication, The Faster Times.
Tomorrow on the show be sure to tune in when we’ll have Gawker Media‘s Hamilton Nolan, a writer whose ability to point out the obvious is seconded only by his penchant for making you laugh.
