The comedy stylings of John McIntire and Gab Bonesso are back -- on the virtual airwaves -- with the podcast "Political Pop," which McIntire describes as "a fusion of pop culture and politics."

Its banter is similar to their short-lived show on former talk station WTZN-FM (The Zone), only without FCC rules and a seven-second delay. So expect to hear material more suited to a comedy club than a radio broadcast.

In one half-hour episode, McIntire and Bonesso take those annoying Top 25 lists everybody posts on their Facebook accounts and kick it up a notch: The topic: "Dead celebrities whose brains I would like to eat to be more like them."

The podcast is available as a stream or download through host TalkShoe and iTunes.

It's hard to wrap your mind around this one, but try: Imagine what cyberspace would be like if conservative pundits Bill O'Reilly or Rush Limbaugh were blogging for the hip-hop community.

Russell Simmons of Global Grind, a site devoted to hip-hop culture and entertainment, has invited O'Reilly, Limbaugh and columnist/critic Stanley Crouch, all critical of hip-hop culture, to blog for his site.

"For far too long Bill has used 'The O'Reilly Factor' on Fox News to spew inaccurate statements and ideological taunts about hip-hop," Russell writes at Global Grind. "Rather than speaking indirectly to us using the code of right-wing rhetoric, I am giving Bill O'Reilly a straight-up opportunity to come out of the Spin Zone and speak to millions of hip-hop supporters and leaders about whatever he may feel is important."

OK, it's not O'Reilly on hip-hop, but there is a blog launching as you read this: Cybertainment has morphed into a PG blog focused on online entertainment. Visit Cybertainment 2.0 at post-gazette.com/blogs.
