A lot of people don't like me, but I'm old now so I don't really care. That's the beauty of getting older. You realize life is too short to be overly concerned about the opinions of others you don't know.

But I don't go out of my way to offend people. I just try and tell the truth as best as I see it. So if I offend you, please accept my preemptive apology. I say "sorry" because I'm Canadian, so it's tough to know if I really am regretful for offending people. Then again it doesn't matter, because I'm old :)

Peter Arnell was the incompetent man who not only concocted the Pepsi logo, he also almost destroyed Tropicana. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/arnells-explanation-of-failed-t...

The man ought to be inducted into the Dunning-Kruger Hall of Fame.

Sadly, yes :( I am such a creature that inflicts my techiness on my younglings! If they get to listen to some kids radio play on a long road trip, then I get to listen to my fav stuff for part of the trip (I'd wear headphones, but it's illegal here in Canada to wear them while driving).

I'm a sad, sad man :( Aren't you glad I'm not your dad :)

As for headphones at work, that's what I do. I do know that some like to play stuff for the techs around them, but it's the managers who have a hissy fit if someone drops an f-bomb or a crude joke. Personally I wouldn't want to work at such a place, but there are more oppressive, bureaucratic work environments out there than there are cool places like 37signals.

sure. I can do that :) I'll let future guests decide if they want to be excluded from a clean feed as well.

I really want guests to be comfortable to talk and say what they want. The clean feed is mainly an accomodation for people who want to listen to the podcast at work or on car trips with kids in the car who don't want to have to be careful.

If it means some content will not be available, that just the way it goes. I can't keep everyone happy, but I'm willing to give a little here and there.

Yeah, DHH loves to curse. I'm probably going to release a "clean" feed as well that edits out some profanity. I don't like to censor guests, but I also like to be able to listen to podcasts at work. By having two feeds, an uncensored version and a SAFE FOR WORK version I hope to keep more people happy (especially my boss :)
