Elon, buddy – we need to have a talk about these podcast links. First it was one or two, but they’ve been increasing, a lot. What was, it seems, a minor irritation in a social milieu best suited to print, now has expanded to obsession.
Time to admit, in looking at the underwhelming response, this may be a problem that needs addressing…
