Go check out gimletmedia.com. Begin with Season One of Start Up. Sprinkle in Reply All, Mystery Show and Surprisingly Awesome and you’re set for a couple of months. (Start Up has a Season Two and a mini season that just wrapped up.) They have a new show called Sampler which I haven’t listened to, but given the quality…

Weird. I picked up his book The Windup Girl with really nothing other than self-guided jacket perusal at a book store last month. It’s an excellent dystopian look into the future. On the cover, it referenced this book and I was going to look into it. Now I see this review pop-up. I’m awesome!

Wow. You burn a whole lot of words on this. How about this: It’s a much better return on investment, risk-reward scenario to put your money on a team that is not far (at all) from returning to La Liga than it would be to invest in any of the remaining MLS markets available. The constant bitching about MLS not being…

I think what it exposed to many is how incredibly shady some detectives and prosecutors can be. I actually think it didn’t go far enough, frankly. Some of that is unfair criticism, because Undisclosed has been exposing a lot of major issues after the fact. But, generally, despite the disclaimer that they didn’t know…

So, I loved season 1 and I’m still following the case through other podcasts (Undisclosed and Truth & Justice.) With that said, while Koenig and company did some remarkable things and pretty much created a new genre, there were some serious flaws with their approach. Most notably, trying to report “on the fly” created…

I think you answered your own question. Between Undisclosed and Serial Dynasty (now Truth & Justice, which... c’mon dude) the turf is already being very well covered. Also, there’s not going to be a resolution to the Syed case for many years. So you’re still going to be left with that unresolved vibe. (To be clear, I…

Except she never wrote anything like that in her diaries. This is a complete Reddit revisionist fabrication. She said, in ONE entry that he was being annoying about her spending time with her friends. Serial interviewed a friend, who didn’t like Adnan, who said he seemed controlling. 99 percent of what she “said” is…

I’m a Caps fan going back to the 80s (when I moved here.) It has been a pleasure watching his career, but also very frustrating at times. I actually think he’s a better two-way player now that he has matured. He did a lot of stuff early in his career to make you think he was playing defense, when in reality he was…

This looks like one of those doctored videos, like Lebron sinking multiple full court shots in a row. I’m not saying it’s fake, but... Wait, that’s EXACTLY what I’m saying!

Yeah, but in this country (and, really, anywhere you find the White Power folsk), the Swastika is used by racists as an organizing and threatening symbol.

Terrifying? Really? I get concussions are bad (my daughter just spent 10 days working through the protocol), but I feel like we’re starting to go way overboard in how we discuss and report on them. Awareness has been raised, let’s not get hysterical.

Those people are assholes, though. That’s not the venue for shouting. (Also, I’ve been there, it was very quiet and subdued. I’m not calling bullshit, but I doubt the rest of the place was cool with what you are describing.)

I know I’m months late, but I just had to provide propers. If nothing else, the writing was amazing.

I doubt you’ll ever see this, as I’m a month late, but your use of the word “execution” here elicited a guffaw. :-)

Did they start on the Back 9?

This happens in every country in Central America, it’s routine. They give out the hotel phone number and try to call the players rooms. Local radio stations set up shop outside the hotel and hold all night parties with loud music. They refuse access to the stadium, forcing the US to practice on shitty fields. Busses…

The Mexican players could go a long way towards stopping this shit by a) going over into the corner and putting their hands up and telling the fans to cut the shit and b) publicly shaming them in post game remarks. They won’t do that, because ultimately they think being the bullies of the region, both on and off the…

What’s not being mentioned, I guess because people aren’t aware??, is that the winner of this Gold Cup is playing the winner of the 2013 Gold Cup (United States) to determine who will go to the Confederations Cup in Russia. That playoff game would’ve been voided if the US had won this year. But the main point is that…

I just left Universal and if this chick was pulling this nonsense in a way that blocked my path, she’d be... Well, I’d probably just walk around her with a look of disgust like the woman at :38. The totally pissed “excuse me” is a great clue people aren’t impressed with her bullshit.
