Beam podcast

Just wanted to announce the soft launch of a new monthly podcast by brilliant/cantankerous Globe columnist Alex Beam. (Hopefully he will not read this; he hates praise, says it "saps the strength.") Beam's opinions provoke a lot of angry reader mail; in today's column, he describes the best letters he's received recently.

The podcast features Beam reading and responding to his hate mail. Here are the first two episodes -- produced, amateurishly, by yours truly.

Beam's December 2006 podcast, in which he responds to November's hate mail.

Beam's January 2007 podcast, in which he responds to December's hate mail.
