The Washington Post website has live web chats on a wide range of topics - sports, advice, breaking news, books, wine, among others - throughout the week. (Usually 8 to 10 chats daily, Monday through Friday. Hardly ever in the evening, and never on holidays or weekends, even though that would allow more people to take part.) The format is fairly standard: submit questions and comments through a web form, before or during the chat, and the moderator/guest will pick and choose which ones to publish and answer (or make fun of, depending on the chat).
Over the past couple of months, I've been able to have one or two questions per week published on various chats: maybe every other Gene Weingarten chat, two out of every three Michael Franz bi-weekly wine chats, and every third Travel chat. One week early in September, I got five questions published; my record. Of late, I've been going through a dry spell, though: only one question made it this week, and no questions made it through last week.
