The @jsnell Anthology

Jason Snell returns to make up words like “podcastosphere”.

Jason Snell, The Incomparable host and Star Trek fan, joins Scott to talk about the TNG episode Tapestry (S6E15).

Topics include Jason’s voyage to Star Trek fandom, to Q or not to Q, space casino games, the message of the episode, and much more.

Jason Snell has a lot of information to keep up with. As Senior Vice President and Editorial Director for IDG and host of The Incomparable, Jason maintains a steady diet of movies, TV shows, books, comics, podcasts, web sites, press releases and more. How does he do it? We walk through what device(s) Jason uses for what types of media and how he stays afloat with it all. Hosting and participating in a podcast are quite different; Jason and Chuck compare notes, then Jason outlines what he feels we need to see from Apple at next week's WWDC.

I was on Leo Laporte's Big Show with the excellent Tim Stevens of CNET to talk about self-driving cars and other ways that robots will kill all humans in the future.

I was pleased to be invited by the lovely Rene Ritchie onto his Vector podcast. We talked about digital comics (right before Comixology pulled the rug out from under us on in-app purchases), publishing, Apple, entertainment, and other stuff.

I was thrilled to have Rene Ritchie there in person during my appearance on MacBreak Weekly. We talked about Apple and Comcast, rumors of a retina MacBook Air, the iWatch, and more.

Big fun to be on the first “Doctor Who” podcast I ever discovered, the Two-minute Time Lord, with Chip Sudderth, who I have now met (thrice!) and had on The Incomparable as well. He’s a great guy and this was a fun interview.

The Incomparable’s own Superfan, Clinton Phillips, had me on his excellent (yet upside-down) Anodised podcast. We talked about The Incomparable, podcasting, what qualifies as art, and the strengths of different storytelling forms. Plus lots more. This was a really, really fun one, mixing up the tech and the cultural.

Wax on, wax off, wax nostalgic: It’s the season finale of Not Playing, and we have both a special guest and a special movie.

Neither Lex or Dan had ever seen the seminal 1984 martial arts classic The Karate Kid. And neither had The Incomparable host Jason Snell, who joins us to watch one of Ralph Macchio’s finest performances.

Hot topics include Elisabeth Shue’s sweater collection, the power of the montage, and whether Mr. Miyagi is kind of a jerk—if a preternaturally good karate teacher. Sweep the leg!

I went to the Gallifrey One “Doctor Who” convention and was interviewed (alongside Erika Ensign of Verity! and The Incomparable) by two-thirds of the Three Who Rule for the Radio Free Skaro podcast.
