is there actually a podcast here or just a description of one?
Looks like Craig forgot to embed the episode. In the meantime, you can listen to the episode here: http://wfnypod.libsyn.com/the-evolution-of-lebron-james-bill-simmons-out-at-espn-and-more-with-martin-rickman-wfny-podcast-2015-05-13
I would love for you guys to interview someone in their 40s (ahem!) to hear their perspective on Twitter. I think the cut-off for twitter might be about 38-40. No one I know over 40 uses twitter unless it is directly involves their work in publishing or media, and even these folks don’t have personal twitter accounts. (We are, however, frequent commenters, unlike the generation older than us.)
