Brian BoyerFor no reason remembering the months I spent, a decade ago, trying to persuade NPR brass that there was a tremendous opportunity to beat the cable news people to making quality stuff for smart TVs
Chris Zubak-Skees@brianboyer Was there ever a thought about video recording some of the interview shows, the way podcasters today do?
@brianboyer I'm trying to mentally wrap my head around a world where Joe Rogan is beaten to this by Terry Gross.
