Emily and I have written about our obsessive and undying devotion to The New Yorker's stellar political broadcast "The Campaign Trail," which provided us with comfort, solace, and delight from Iowa all the way to Chicago's Grant Park and beyond. (I even saw the main recurring members in concert! Sort of.)

According to FishbowlNY, the MPA Digital Awards has named as "Best Podcast Series" of 2008 The New Yorker's "The Campaign Trail"! We'd like to congratulate (this is off the top of my head) John Cassidy, Elizabeth Kolbert, David Remnick, Jane Mayer, Jeffrey Toobin, George Packer, Hendrik Hertzberg, Ryan Lizza, and above all, the podcast's cheerful, focused, and curious moderator, Dorothy Wickenden, for this distinction. I regret if I left anyone out. The year of amusing and insightful talk was a joy to behold.
