Scheduling Conflict

It's been three years. Three years of From Radioland. We have seen a lot and we certainly have discussed a lot over the three years. Yet, for the first time in our history (of this show) I have found a topic of which I will not be covering any further. The reasoning about it may seem odd at first coming from me, but it makes perfect sense when you think about it.

Also this time out, the tools existing to make your personal productivity smarter are everywhere. They are free and they are very useful. As much as I want to use them, for some reason I can't bring myself to use them as they should be used. It's as if I don't have the time to schedule something.

Plus, music from HEELS.

Dizzy From The Spin

Oh yeah... there is some seriously interesting shit happening in the United States. What is interesting, to me at least, is how this is all being brought to the public through the media. Despite the title of this episode, there isn't much spin being placed into this immigration story.

There is an interesting reason as to why there isn't much spin on the current situation. You know why? Simple. You can't polish this turd enough.

Peeing In The Reporter's Pool

I spent quite a few years in the world of journalism. It was a great time and at the same time, I'm glad I am not in that industry anymore. There is no way I could survive in today's newsrooms. With that said, there are a lot of things about the people who work as journalists and reporters many people don't really understand.

News is a difficult business. These days, it's a whole different ballgame. These days, the public likes to shoot the messenger, a lot.

New Media Doesn't Mean No Media

You can think of this as part 1 of a two part show regarding the state of the media in this country. In this episode, I take a pretty fervent stand in defending the news media, in general terms, mind you. Part two will look into the actual people that make up the news media. More on that next week.

There has been some talk that the President Elect wants to close the White House Press Room and do away with the White House Press Corps. Can he do that? Sure. He can do what he wants. Is it a good idea? Nope.

Artificially Intelligent

It would appear that we as a society are welcoming the Internet of Things into our lives on a very deliberate and slow process. Step by step, artificial intelligence is coming into everything whether we want it to or not.

But it is not just machines I am concerned with. As ridiculous as it may sound, there are a good number of people out there who seem to be artificially intelligent. Scary, right?

I did ask Siri if she planned on taking over the world. She responded in this episode.
