Phil de Vellis, a.k.a. ParkRidge47, on MyDD Blog Talk Radio This Sunday

It has been less than a month since Phil de Vellis, going by the nom de plume ParkRidge47, uploaded a short video entitled "Vote Different" to YouTube. In the time since, the homage to Apple's famed 1984 commercial set to the background of Democratic presidential politics has been viewed several million times on the internet and countless more times on replays on the cable news networks, and has, in the process, sent a shot across the bow of politics as user-created content -- not campaign driven product -- reached voters around the country and had a small, though noticeable effect on a political campaign.

de Vellis has spoken out only a few times since it emerged last week that he created the video, first writing a short blog post for The Huffington Post just as he was exposed and then sitting down for interviews with YouTube and PoliticsTV that were uploaded today.

On Sunday, in what will be his first interview for internet radio since he "came out" (or was "outed") as ParkRidge47, de Vellis will sit down with the hosts of MyDD's Blog Talk Radio show for an extended conversation about viral videos, online organizing, the internet and politics, and other related issues. blog radioLike every Sunday evening, MyDD.com on Blog Talk Radio will air at 7:00 PM Eastern and be available for download and as a stream not long after for those who won't have the opportunity to listen in live. What do you want us to ask de Vellis? What would you ask ParkRidge47? Leave your comments in this thread or send them to jonathan-at-mydd-dot-com and we will try to bring them up. And make sure to listen into MyDD's weekly Blog Talk Radio show this and every Sunday night at 7:00 PM Eastern as hosts Jonathan Singer, Adam Conner and Aaron Banks and a staple of great guests talk politics and take your calls.
