    I enjoyed your episode with Pod. I think he’s wrong about what types of shows can be greenlit. I would refer him to the show “Shameless”.

  • Jonah Surrenders

    This pod cast is retreating into the obscure. Nuanced discussion of early 20th century “journalism”, 19th century “economics”, and while we’re at it, the British colonial navy. Pair that with the definition of words, diving into the well of Chestertons fence and the Overton window, it’s become a self involved therapy session. What happened to taking on big issues or taking a stand? I thought he had opinions and wanted to share them. Alas, Jonah has surrendered.
