If everything goes as planned, I should be on TV tonight sometime around 9:30 (6:30 PM GMT). Naif Abu-Saida has invited me to talk about blogging in the IT segment of the daily magazine show Min Al-Riyadh (From Riyadh) on Al-Yaum channel, a part of Orbit network. Since many people, myself included, don’t have a subscription to Orbit in their houses, it would be nice if someone (wink wink!) who has could recored the interview and upload it to YouTube.
I’m definitely not the first blogger to appear on the show: Herbaz and Milyani have done it before, and Naif himself is a fellow blogger, though his blog is strictly poetic. I’m nervous about this, but I guess it is understandable that live TV can be intimidating. Wish me luck.
UPDATE: Just left Orbit studios. I don’t know about the interview, I think I have had a hard time trying to put my ideas in sequence, but hey, it’s my first time. If you have watched it, please let me know what you think.
