This week’s podcast features Jeff Goldstein and Neo-neocon on the inexorable attraction of defeat in Iraq, America’s penchant for self-flagellation, and finding meaning in a chocolate Jesus. Why does doom sell, and why are we so susceptible to the pitch?
Cut me some slack on this one. I spent a good portion of the show with my hand over the receiver, trying to get my kid to quiet down.
Oh. Then there was the binge drinking…
I thought you did well. Except for the part where he asked what you’d be blogging on this week and you didn’t mention armadillos, pie or cock-referencing double standards.
These take entirely too long to make it to the iTunes subscription site. Any way of speeding that up?
No idea, dicentra. I’m just the plug-in “talent.”
I do recall talking a bit about fin de siecle, though. So it could be worse than I thought.
Can’t you just load it to your desktop, drop it into iTunes, and trash the desktop file?
You sounded kind of down.
I’m working and babysitting the two-year old today, conference call hell. I’m going to go all Alec Baldwin on the kid about half an hour in so I can get an early Friday.
Now that he’s potty trained I lost the diaper excuse. I used to just whisper, “What do you want?” to the side of the phone then gag a few times and tell the people on the other end “I gotta take care of this…” then hangup and it was time to start drinking.
Now that he can crap in the potty it just feels so dishonest.
Maybe I’ll just hand him a barbeque lighter right before I call in. I dunno. What do you think?
Can’t you just load it to your desktop, drop it into iTunes, and trash the desktop file?
Doesn’t seem to work. I can play it off the desktop, but to load it onto my Nano, iTunes has to get a hold of it, and the .mp3 that I downloaded off the PJM site doesn’t seem to have the correct “markup” or something for iTunes to know what to do with it. I tried putting it in the PJM folder in my iTunes Podcast folder, but that didn’t work either.
Oh well. I’ll just wait for it to come through the subscription pipeline.
