Sneaky Dragon

This week on Sneaky Dragon: a little sadness and tears mixed in with our usual goofiness. In this episode, Ian and Dave discuss: Time – Ian says it isn’t linear and Dave maintains Time is a simultaneous event; do Ian and Dave have Olympics fever; Ian thinks the terrorists have won – they can stop now; public shaming – losing jobs and ruing lives since forever; our current culture of feedback loops and narrow-casting; Ian has some aquarium facts; you should listen to Malcolm Gladwell’s Revisionist History podcast (says Ian); satire – does it work; and, finally, pets and the high cost of loving (as the Style Council once put it).

Thanks for listening.
