🎙️ Podcasts
🎛️🎙️ 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.
The Full Podcast:
🎙️ 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’.
🎙️ The Porn Bellwether - Martini Shot
A lot of information we know - but its how the story is told that keeps me engaged. This time Rob predicts the future of the entertainment industry - and who he expects to be the winners. (No spoiler Alert, cos I’m not gonna tell you.)
🎙️Three wonderful short podcasts from Rob Long’s Martini Shot.
🎵 Nantucket Sleighride by Mountain is a massively important album to yours truly - part of my formative years if you will.
TIL what a 🔗 Nantucket Sleighride actually is …. thanks to the 🎙️Freakonomics podcast
🤯
🎙️ What Tom Hanks Thinks of America
Not a BIG fan of Hanks’ acting (but I definitely don’t not like him), this conversation with Ezra Klein significantly opened my mind to him - and the opening 5 to 10 minutes is all about typewriters and typing!
🎵 Listened to a 🎙️podcast featuring Simon Armitage. I did not know he had a band. … LYR. During the podcast there was discussion about why the band is not called ‘Land Yacht Regatta’ - and if not that - why not L.Y.R. ?
He wasn’t really sure - Label decisions he said … but I think I know.
L.Y.R. - not my cup of tea at all - that I jumped over to listen to is definitely a very different band to LYR - a band that is very much my cup of tea.
🎙️ A Few Thoughts About RFK Jr.
Sam Harris doing his thing and a spot on 15 minute analysis of why RFK won’t be on his show anytime soon.
I wish Petersen, Rogan, Marr et al gave as much thought to the guests on their shows. Of course, there is a consistency to the places he has appeared.
🎛️🎙️ How will YOU be remembered?
I have been struggling with a newsletter recently. Unlike the podcast - it isn’t about suicide, but rather - how people are remembered after death. (If you know the movie Coco - it relates. If you think about tombstones - it relates.) The 30 second clip gets to the nub.

🎛️🎙️ UC Berkeley’s Hany Farid: “With AI, we’re making the same mistakes that we did with social media”
A good listen … if these 30 seconds don’t inspire you to listen to the rest … well … then don’t.
The Full Podcast: 🎙️ Danny In The Valley
Rob Long in his usual fast (10 minutes) and effective way nails it. This time it’s about the problems of The Entertainment Industry.
🎙️Josh Toplosky in conversation with Mark Gurman
Have to say a couple of things in here made me sit up and think … “oh maybe I will watch WWDC”.
🎙️Ezra Klein talking to Fareed Zakaria
… so good.
- Ukraine
- Ukraine - Russia
- Europe
- History
- US Foreign Policy
- What The US never seems to understand
- India
- India and Modi
… and that is just the start.
I just found out about 🔗 Connie Converse
🎙️ Mike Pesca talking to Howard Fishman who wrote 📚 To Anyone Who Ever Asks
Talk about a hole in history.
🎛️🎙️ Kafka Talking With Professor Emily M. Bender
.. amongst others, but the clip is Bender talking.
It’s been a good series. Not down in the weeds - but neither a ‘duh’ podcast - of which there seem to be many.
