My first job was with TV Guide but as one if the "suits", not the talent. Looking forward to hearing this.

Re: Goldberg, Podhoretz, & Long #2: Spoiler Alert!
I believe that should be "Two and A Half Mensches".
Re: Goldberg, Podhoretz, & Long #2: Spoiler Alert!
Oy vey, you'd think I would know that. Fixed.

How about "Inside the Box" instead of 2 1/2 thingy?

Re: Goldberg, Podhoretz, & Long #2: Spoiler Alert!
"Two-and-a-half Menschen".

Re: Goldberg, Podhoretz, & Long #2: Spoiler Alert!
Don't know if it's just my ears, but every time John Podhoretz is on a podcast, the audio breaks up when he's speaking. If not my ears, is there a possible solution??
Re: Goldberg, Podhoretz, & Long #2: Spoiler Alert!
It's because he was using Skype on his iPhone, which as you have observed, leaves much to be desired. We will endeavor to do better in the future.

Well that was fast. Thank you. (Or maybe I shoulda' read the notes before listening...)
Re: Goldberg, Podhoretz, & Long #2: Spoiler Alert!
I just uploaded a slightly cleaned up (in terms of audio quality, not language) version of the show. Some of you may get twice if you are subscribed.

With regard to the gods of Skype:
May I suggest that next time
you try a well-known reliable 20th century technology?
It's called 'the telephone'.

Most of the time, Skype works quite well -- much better than the phone. In this particular instance, we just didn't have time to stop and fix it.
The version I just uploaded is a marked improvement. Give it a listen.

The Testy Triumvirate?
Skype issues notwithstanding an excellent podcast! One of youse should check out the Kelsey Grammer show, "Boss" since its all about politics and such...I think its on Starz?

How about "PHAT Boys".

Jonah, yours is the best line yet to describe the teacher's union strike in Chicago: "It's like the Uraki Orcs to Mordor." Very apt description indeed!

All the Twitter buzz on this podcast was prefaced by "Spoiler Alert" - so I didn't dare read the accompanying messages. I'm a sucker, man!

Great podcast, but I'd love to hear a little more Jonah!

Made my mind immediately to "The Two Towers" movie:

Re: Goldberg, Podhoretz, & Long #2: Spoiler Alert!
I really love you guys but honest to Pete, if we don't get Podhoretz on another connection I'm not going to listen to this podcast anymore. Simply unbearable.
Re: Goldberg, Podhoretz, & Long #2: Spoiler Alert!
Saucy, I hear your pain. We'll do better next time.
