We’re talking about whether or not there is such a thing as a bad question and how we might detect one if it exists.

      It was my turn to host and I think I’m not overly biased when I say that Abby and Juan do a much better job in that role. For one thing, I was pretty anxious that we’d end the recording before we ran out of things to talk about. Not entirely unrelated: I say the word “template” in a weird way.

      It didn’t make the recording, but Abby started talking to her cat right after we said goodbye.
