I’m tempted to tell you to skip most of this week’s episode and fast forward to about the last 45 seconds because there’s a lot to learn from Bob’s sign off this week. For example, the show this week was edited “more or less by me [Bob]“. In a year and a half of dedicated [...]
Every week when I sit down to recap, I get all excited that maybe – just maybe – this will be the week that Brooke returns from her leave. Nothing against Bob, but I miss Brooke (and I think he does too, despite sounding almost giddy announcing Katya’s editorial credit at the end of the [...]
This week’s “On the Media” is a collection of the show’s commentary on how the Internet is changing the ways we communicate. Which, you might think, would result in a recap made from a collection of our commentary on how Bob Garfield doesn’t get it, and how Brooke Gladstone does. That wouldn’t be wrong, if [...]
This week’s episode intro starts with the usual story highlights and ends with Bob saying “Stay tuned for all sorts of wrong stuff.” There’s potential for plenty of wrong – Brooke is off again this week, and Bob is using words like “fomenting”. The first story is about people that think that President Obama wasn’t [...]
It’s recap time again, and this week, it’s a video. Watch for talk about behaviorally targeted ads, skecthy food products, sketchy print ad products (and some paper nomming), and Bob apologizing. This recap was recorded by Kerry, with occasional giggles from Matthew, who’s watching YouTube videos in the next room.
Happy Independence day, media fans. I hope you all had a good time barbecuing, swimming, being off work and blowing things up. We had an excellent weekend full of all of those things. Sadly, the party’s over now, and it’s back to work. Recap time! This week, Brooke and Bob pull an Adam and Jamie [...]
Another episode of On the Media, another reminder that NPR employees are the only people who can pronunce Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s correctly on the first try. Brooke is back (yay!) and the lead story is the election in Iran and it’s parallels to the 1979 revolution (of course). The Iranian government has been doing all kinds [...]
We’re about two weeks into being homeowners, and we’re still without internet at home. Sort of. Right now, I’ve got myself tucked away in a corner, sniffing out whatever dregs of internet seep out unprotected from the neighbors’ houses. We’ve been trying to unpack, but the thing is, most of our boxes are packed tigher [...]
This week’s OTM was all about public relations. And the ShamWow guy. Bob hosted the episode solo, without a single mention of the newspaper industry. Here’s the video: OTM Recap: Memorial Day Weekend from Radio Sweethearts on Vimeo. This recap was recorded by Kerry with help from the dog and viewers like you.
OTM Recap: Out of my brain on the 5:15 from Radio Sweethearts on Vimeo. In this post I mention the story about Wolfram Alpha. Here’s that link. It’s not too often I’ll be doing this, as my current computer is way slower than Kerry’s, and lacks a built-in camera. Have a good week.
