Internet Evolution has unveiled the lineup for its new IE Radio program, kicking off Thursday, Aug. 13, at 4 p.m. ET with craigslist founder Craig Newmark. Future IE Radio guests in subsequent weeks include venture capitalist Esther Dyson; political consultant Joe Trippi; author Andrew Keen; blogger Cory Doctorow; and Ford's social networking director Scott Monty.

"We're excited to add live audio streaming to our content. Combining IE Radio with 'live chat' during and after the show allows listeners and guests to engage in ways that no other B2B Website is doing right now," says Internet Evolution Editor in Chief Terry Sweeney. "We think the Internet's the perfect medium for these kinds of multimedia conversations to occur."
