Dan Lyons, a senior editor at Forbes Magazine in the US, is in Britain
at the Thinking Digital conference in Newcastle upon Tyne. I spent an
hour and a half with him earlier today. Here's a one-hour MP3 podcast

There are some surprises. I assumed Steve Jobs would be a fan of the Fake Steve Jobs blog, but not a bit of it. We also talked about Bike Helmet Girl, Bike Snob New York City, skiing in New England, the new iPhone, rising gas prices in America and raising healthy kids.

Dan and his wife have bikes stashed away in their garage but he promises he's going to dig them out when he gets home. He must be a closet cyclist: he let slip he'd recently been flicking through Dirt Rag magazine...
