The Inaugural DNC Podcast features an interview with DNC Chairman Howard Dean in which he discusses the DNC’s fall meeting in Phoenix, the Democratic Party’s strategy and agenda for 2006, Democratic minority outreach efforts, and the DNC’s plans to hold its next meeting in New Orleans.

In addition, the DNC Podcast features an interview with DNC Blogger Tim Tagaris, who discusses the decision by Lamar Advertising to reject the DNC’s purchase of two billboards in Portsmouth, Ohio. The billboards were purchased as part of the DNC’s effort to hold Ohio Republican Congresswoman Jean Schmidt accountable for attacking Pennsylvania Congressman John Murtha, a decorated military veteran, during a Congressional debate on the Iraq war.
