Subtitle: Everything becomes crab.
Updates on match cuts, the college ranking racket, and some historical perspective on t-dropping.
Links and Show Notes:
Follow-Up brings updates on match cuts, the college ranking racket, and some historical perspective on t-dropping.
The main topic is kind of hard to pin down, but it might come down to a word choice on a website. Making it an ideal topic for this program.
In this month’s member bonus episode, there's some more discussion of scrobbling and media consumption, plus John watched The Lobster (Yorgos Lanthimos, 2015), and Merlin wants to hear how it went.
You can sign up today to hear all the member episodes, get more bonus stuff, and help support our program.
