Links and Podcasts of Various Kinds

Good Moaning. As a sick cosmic April fool joke it is snowing—for real—right outside my window. Moreover, Matt has no voice and cannot croak anything into the phone for a podcast. This must be providence because it’s  kind of a slow news day anyway, and also, for sometime we’ve needed to change the Day of Our Pontification. We are going to podcast this week, but we’re going to wait till his voice isn’t so painful. I know one of the major rules of podcasting is Never Change The Day, but we’re  going to break that rule, just like we’ve broken all the others.

Anyway, I was on the Ride Home with John and Kathy last week (40 min. mark), and this week I should be showing up on The Persuasion Podcast with Hannah and Erin. So if you need to hear the dulcet tones of my rambling voice, you will not be disappointed.

I, on the other hand, have been listening to this over the last three days. It’s someone I had never heard of interviewing Neil Gaiman. The whole thing is wonderful but when he starts talking about Terry Pratchett I went ahead and cried for a while.

I do have some links. Let me see. This is brilliant.

And this has made the rounds but I finally read it and then clicked the link in the middle and watched the four young women talking about their use of social media. Rambling but very eye-opening.

This is excellent and fascinating. Don’t expect I’ll actually read any of these books but liked reading about them.

This was long and fascinating.

Matt thought the second question and answer in this was really funny, but I don’t get it at all. How else would you handle it? Really, what is advised is the only option.

This is not very surprising.

This is so cool.

This is very serious and shocking and not funny at all.

If you insisted I could probably live here.

I’m thinking ahead.

Here is an excellent sermon.

And that’s it for now. For sure we’ll quickly arrange our lives in a way that completely makes sense and never changes ever again.
