May 15, 2013Really happy to get Pat McManamon on the podcast. I wanted to talk to him about Fanhouse and how the media landscape has changed both for him and also around him over the years. We also had some good conversation about the Browns, Chuck Klosterman and Twitter.

Grew up reading McManamon and Pluto in the AB Journal. I think it’s great to hear them interviewed on wfny.
I don’t know if/where it was discussed… But, I liked the “If you’re going to wait for a year, try waiting for next year” closer. Sorta, cheesy sure, but any closing phrase will sound cheesy in a vacuum. Now the ending is just bland. (note: hyper nit-picking)
Thanks for the feedback. Maybe I’ll bring it back. It kind of felt like when I shared it with Les Levine it had reached a natural conclusion. Ha.
Craig already knows my opinion on this, but I agree with Swig. I think that closing tag is money.
Really enjoying the podcast section. I say no on the closer though.
