If you haven’t heard, the weekly Presidential radio address will now be video recorded and put on youtube each week. Such a small thing, but smart. I mean, who listens to the President on the radio? I would have no idea when or where it was on. But youtube — that makes sense.

Hey Josh,
I agree that YouTube beats the radio. However, the weekly address is available on iTunes as a podcast feed, just in case you want to check it out. I do.
