ON THE DL
Daniel McQuade Will Do on the DL
Holy Cross-Promotion Batman! Dan talks with Daniel McQuade, blogger at Philadelphia Will Do, the super blog at Philadelphia Weekly.
Yes, the same Philadelphia Weekly who runs this show twice a month. We talk to DMac about the industry from one of the few full-time career bloggers out there. We talk about his editorial process covering a city by himself, and delve into his other blog life at Drug Roar.
Drug Roar is a site that McQuade writes about the legalization, or lack their of, of drugs. But it’s not a “pot rules, bro” site. It’s really smartly aggregated and talks about both sides of the drug war coin in this country. We also chat about his musings and how that meshes with his job at PW.
We also get into how difficult it is to critique the media while being a member therein. It can’t be easy writing daily critiques of other (and in some cases, more prominent) writers, so we get his thoughts on that.
And, of course, we discuss the abundance of sports blogs taking over the town.
I also ask who in the city he’d want to have a blog - and get a response I find hilarious.
