We're back, and it's time to talk about Christmas, the Swamp People, and MTV News' internet-erupting video, #dearwhiteguys. Blurring the Byline is a bi-weekly conversation about news, media, and the written word from the perspective of two writers/best friends: one a journalist in D.C., the other a poet/fiction writer in L.A. Get in touch with us! Send feedback, questions, or drag Julia for disparaging swamp people across the nation at blurringthebyline(@)gmail.com. You can find us on Twitter @blurthebyline, and our website will eventually be blurringthebyline.com. Our show is produced and edited by Stephen Brouillette, who also composed our awesome theme music. Send us nice tweets and we'll show them to Stephen! If you write a review of the show on iTunes, we'll say your name on the show and might even be nice about it.
