0:00.0	It's time for episode 95 of the Clockwise Podcast from Relay FM, recorded Wednesday, July 15th, 2015.
0:08.8	Clockwise, four people, four technology topics, 30 minutes.
0:19.6	Welcome back to Clockwise, the Tech Podcast that may or may not be a planet.
0:24.8	I'm your co-host Dan Moran, and I'm joined across the vast swaths of the Internet of Interstellar Internet Space by my co-host.
0:32.5	Jason's now. Hi, Jason. I'll respond in four and a half hours.
0:35.3	This is going to be a long episode. And that's all for Clockwise.
0:45.7	As always, we are joined also by two fantastic guests. To my left is Giant Spacecats own Brianna Wu. Hi, Brianna. What's crack-alacking? And to my left, it is Shelly Brisbane, who is one of the

1:40.3	trend is heading? Or is this just sort of flailing like oh us too us too we can totally do that
1:45.8	what are your thoughts and does such a service potentially interest you pre we saw this years ago
1:51.8	how we were moving more and more towards streaming i think you've seen hbio go and you
1:57.0	Netflix really take over the market so i really interpret this as a me too. Maybe Comcast will be able to get their
2:04.6	act together and compete with, you know, content on that level, but I think given their track record,
