Episode 239: Starving African Child
TOPIC: Block! Block! Body blow! Uppercut!

- Political Gabfest on the second Republican presidential debate and the possible government shutdown over the Planned Parenthood controversy.
On this week’s Slate Political Gabfest Emily Bazelon, John Dickerson, and David Plotz discuss the second round of Republican debates and how each candidate performed, and the potential government shutdown over Planned Parenthood funding and what it means for the 2016 election. They also talk to writer, speaker, and broadcaster Merlin Mann about time, attention, and productivity.
Steve chats with Merlin Mann about his history with libraries, the importance of the library as a community space, why libraries aren’t dead, and checking in with the Library Elf.
John Siracusa and Merlin Mann try to figure out exactly how they got this way.
The overall median price for a 1-bedroom in SF hit $3,530 earlier this month
The two-bedroom, one-bath “beauty” built in 1906 offers 765 square feet of living space and just went on the market for $350,000. That’s $458 per square foot, which might be considered a “bargain” since the average price per square foot in San Francisco is $957, according to real estate site Trulia.
