Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How marathons changed the cities we live in
Q: If someone is maybe not a runner or running curious, or maybe a very casual runner who wants to kind of ramp up, what would be your advice for someone kind of just getting started on that journey?
Amy Leavitt Knepper advises that if someone can complete six miles, they can build toward 26.2, and describes the finish-line accomplishment as deeply emotional.
How marathons changed the cities we live in
Q: What does the New York Marathon mean to you?
Amy Leavitt Knepper describes it as the greatest day in the city, bringing people together, and says the five bridges make it a demanding mental challenge.
Why do billboards brag that a show is sold out?
Q: How feasible is this scam? Have you heard of anything like this happening?
Carver and Griffith say they have not heard of the scheme, and explain that Social Security numbers sell for little in bulk markets, identity-theft reports do not erase charges, and knowingly selling a number can bring felony charges.
Why do billboards brag that a show is sold out?
Q: Why would a promoter go out of their way to advertise a show that's already sold out?
Houghton says the ads can boost the perceived success and size of an artist, encourage fans to buy tickets earlier for future shows, satisfy contractual advertising requirements, or direct buyers toward resale sites.
Why did the rom-com genre fall off?
Q: What's the future of the rom-com look like? Is there saving it? Do we even want to save it?
Walt Hickey suggests that romantic comedies have not vanished so much as migrated into reality dating shows, which use similar romantic story structures at lower production costs.
