Good job with the @gruber episode @martinfeld …. noting that it is (I think) 🎙️🔗 the longest one you have published (?) … fitting for the guest 🤪 … seriously though, nice job and good to hear Mr G wax lyrical on his story. Lovely listen.
🔗 Plan for 55,000-acre Silicon Valley utopia unveiled.
It would appear that the designers have explored how new neighborhoods were promoted in the ‘50s and didn’t even bother to update the images.
🎙️ If you prefer to listen - Kevin and Casey with their usual over the top breathless commentary.
🎙️ The new podcast ‘Strike Force 5’ is named after their personal chat group.
I wonder if there is an ‘origins story’ around that name that ties the ‘5 old white guys’ to the comic books of the same name where the heroes are a ‘team of mutated dinosaur heroes’.
🔗 🎙️ More Musk Manure … interview with Ronan Farrow after his New Yorker piece.
🎛️ About ’That’ Film
I wrote about it back in mid July. 🖇️ Smelt fishy then. Still smells fishy.
Kafka’s podcast goes ‘off piste’ - but well worth it as it explores what exactly was/is going on with the movie - that’s in part one. In part two - the ‘other side’.

🔗 🎙️ 🎵 A Music Podcast Unlike Any Other - The New Yorker
The New Yorker writing about one of the best music podcasts ever by Andrew Hickey.
I’ve posted about the podcast before - it is absolutely incredible. A tour de force - but apparently that wasn’t enough for Hickey because …
The only background necessary to grasp a bit of Hickey is his bibliography: he has completed a guide to the first fifty years of “Doctor Who”; a book about “The Strange World of Gurney Slade” (a surreal comedy series that ran for six episodes on ITV in 1960); histories of the Monkees, the Kinks, and Los Angeles pop music of the nineteen-sixties; an “unauthorised guide” to a comic-book series called “Seven Soldiers of Victory”; and a three-volume catalogue of every track the Beach Boys have recorded.
PostScript - I discovered the podcast via @dave who was waxing lyrical about it a while back.
🎛️ The Future Of Income
Over the years I have used different words, different ‘lenses’, different ‘glasses’, ‘filters’ - but it all comes down to this.
And too quickly I am told that ‘UBI’ is not the solution, to which I point out that I never said it was. Delighted to hear David Wood making exactly the same point. He goes on …
what is happening is not business as usual.
I agree.

🎙️ David Wood Talking On David Brown’s Podcast
More to come on the ongoing site changes, but my podcast can now be found on my 🎙️Philpin domain - and if I can get Substack to fix their bug, it will soon there, which is part of the reason why my newsletter is no longer called a newsletter - but rather 🔗 a ‘Substack’.
