Live from Baghdad with Michael Yon

yonpic3.jpgWe talk with independent journalist Michael Yon who is in Baghdad today about what is going on with the war, what the troops and the generals think about the surge, Iranian involvement in the terror attacks in Iraq and about media coverage of the war. If you want to read more from Michael Yon, take a look at his book, Danger Close that tells the story of his life in the army and other adventures or take a look at his website.

  1. Dr Helen, if you went to Baghdad the terrorists would just surrender. Nice show.

  3. Dear Doc,

    Did Mike happen to say, or have you folks ever discussed, what he's using to record voice in the field? Just curious.

  4. Hi Goy,

    We just used a sattelite phone to talk with Michael and we recorded his voice on our computer. The recording software we used was Adobe Audition.

  5. Thanks Helen - I was actually asking if he happened to mention the recording gear he's using to get stuff like the MP3 bit at the end of "The Hands of God".

  6. Goy,

    He didn't mention it and we didn't ask, sorry, but I don't know what he used.
