Another phone call, this time with my friend Jon, who is one of my favorite people (top two?), and also a programmer and lover of San Diego. We discuss making the case for a pay raise, digital addiction, dating profiles and, I'm sorry, computers.

The first episode with a guest. My brother, David, and I talk about Japanese garden bells, the writ of habeas corpus, nuclear annihilation and more. Share this show if you like it.

First go at a fiction episode. Unscripted fiction. A story, or the beginning of a story, about a woman named Nina who works the morning shift at Au Bon Pain in LaGuardia Airport. Is it any good? We report, you decide, etc.

24-minute teaser for new podcast program, Nineball. Nineball will sometimes just be like this, me on a microphone, and sometimes with a guest, and sometimes with a piece of oRiGiNaL fIcTiOn.
