Thrilled to report that I have finally finished catching up on Friends at the Table. Now for literally every other podcast I listen to that has released anything over the past few months.

So far as I can tell, this is the only photo I have of any of the PAX panels I have been on over the years. It would be real a treat to do another. I cannot promise that my takes will be good - only that they will be hot and delivered with reckless enthusiasm.

Happy to report that the Lost rewatch has finally begun and Giacchino's score is still out of this world and even more impressive considering the conditions under which it was made.

So the book I am reading about Twitter just went on a really long detour about hedge funds and I was like, sure, I've not really read that much about the financiers involved with Elon's acquisition but it turns out they've just misprinted 50 or so pages of a DIFFERENT book into this copy.
