Hey, this is cool! The Blog Era is a finalist in two (!!) categories at The Signal Awards, a podcasting honor judged by esteemed creators and appreciators. We're also up for two "listener's choice" Signal Awards, which are voted on by the public! And - this is where you come in - if you'd vote for The Blog Era in the two categories, we'd be most appreciative!
Here are the two links, it takes two minutes which is about 1000x shorter than it takes to listen to our podcast:
1.) LIMITED SERIES: ARTS, CULTURE, & LIFESTYLE
2.) LIMITED SERIES: DOCUMENTARY
We really appreciate it! And similarly, we have been so deeply moved by all of the reviews we’ve gotten: long notes about memories being jogged or even resurrected; photos and videos sent, showing the real-life footprints to a digital time, whether on social media or in the pages of the New York Times.
The Blog Era is a painstaking resurrection of the characters and events that made this humble format - vertical-scrolling logs of images, text and download links - such a seismic force in hip-hop. - Reggie Ugwu, New York Times
The Blog Era is hands down one of the finest works of hip-hop journalism ever. - Dan Charnas, NYT best-selling author of Dilla Time and The Big Payback
The Blog Era is as close to living history as you’re gonna get. - Jon Caramanica, New York Times
And, on top of that, we’ve already been added to the curricula at UCLA, UCSD, Cal State and NYU, which means that these stories will not be going away: a new generation will continue to hear about this time that we care so much about.
We’ll continue to pound the pavement, and spread the word — thank you for carrying us this far, and having our backs as we move ahead.
- Eric and Jeff
Voted as #1 but forever our third favorite podcast.
