Relay

John Siracusa and Merlin Mann try to figure out exactly how they got this way. Hosted by Merlin Mann and John Siracusa.

Reconcilable Differences

250: Water Hammer

251: The Finer Things

252: Briefly, It Was the Future.

253: The Torpid Sons of Venezuelan Oil Men

254: Someone Else’s Bucket

255: The Illusion of a Shared Experience

This time around, John and Merlin talk about time-shifted media releases, corporate speak, and Dave the Marketing guy.

For the main topic, John educates Merlin about the first-person shooter game, "Destiny." Merlin feels overwhelmed, while John says we're only seeing the tip of the iceberg.

8: Devouring Essence

This week kicks off with some further discussion of salad and the video game, Destiny, and then proceeds into some talk about the current TV season and the state of late-night programming.

The centerpiece of the episode is a lot of talk about _travel_, focused on the myriad reasons your hosts find it so terribly difficult. Observations on helplessness, motion sickness, money, and the titular "Hobbit tendencies" emerge.

Things conclude with a meditation on _introversion_: what it means to have it (or decide that you have it), and what constitutes the super-wide spectrum between social anxieties and the more garden-variety aversion to, say, wearing pants.

12: Hobbit Tendencies

This episode, John and Merlin have a spirited debate on netspeak and emoji talk (🤕👹😭), then address the Wonderful World of Disney (World), including what makes it great and what keeps it relevant.

13: The Mickey Suit

This time out, John and Merlin start with a consideration of parenting advice and (surprise) the _Star Wars_ prequels.

Then, the wardrobe is opened for a discussion of _clothing_. What your hosts choose to wear and why, and how best to telegraph the desire to be a non-combatant in the fashion race.

Merlin encourages listeners to give John _a virtual makeover_.

14: Children's Shoes

This week, Merlin figures out what's weird about John, and John declares Merlin to be a clique mixer.

The main topic this week is _high school reunions_. Or, at least it starts out that way. John and Merlin are both pretty good at not going to things, then ruminating about it.
