Michelle Malkin Launches the Hot Air Network

Posted on April 24, 2006

Michelle Malkin has announced the launch of Hot Air. Hot Air is billed as the "world's first full-service conservative Internet broadcast network." It is a very good name for a political site. Malkin teamed with two other conservative bloggers for the Hot Air website: Bryan Preston and Allah Pundit. The site includes links, articles, podcasts, a blog and a daily video newscast called The Vent that features Michelle Malkin. In her introduction of Hot Air, Malkin offers a nice recap of some of the recent Internet video developments.

In the about page Hot Air lists some of the equipment and software they are using -- useful information if you are planning to podcast or videocast yourself:

  • VENT with Michelle Malkin is filmed with a Sony HVR-A1U Digital HDV Handycam and edited with Avid Xpress DV and Adobe After Effects.
  • Podcasts are recorded using Plantronics headsets and Audacity audio editing software. Podcast interviews are conducted on Skype and recorded with Hot Recorder.

    Update: Hot Air became part of the Townhall/HotAir network in 2010.
