All successful brands come in a variety of flavors, even DCist. Our newest flavor combines one part iPod, one part D.C. music scene and one part audio adventure. You can taste this flavor-filled nugget by downloading our inaugural podcast that features interviews with and music by The Positions (pictured here) who recently released their first full-length CD titled Bliss!; Laura Burhenn, who organized and performed in a Katrina music benefit we co-sponsored at American University on September 9th; and Paul Michel, who also played at the benefit.

We hope the podcast will be a monthly feature where we can interview local musicians and personalities in depth, and provide you some of the sounds of the city we love.

You don’t have to have an iPod to listen — in fact, any computer will do. Here’s how to download the podcast:

For pros:
>> Subscribe to our podcast with a podcasting application from our Feedburner page

For everyone else:
