| 0:51.0 | Last year, we also started a second weekly show, Short Hand, which is just an excuse for us to talk about anything we find interesting |
| 0:58.0 | because it's our show and we can do what we like. We've covered the death of Princess Diana, an unholy Quran written in Saddam Hussein's blood, |

| 2:28.0 | We fly to a place usually sort of a central location for everyone. And over a day or a couple days, a bunch of people who are in the same industry, but in some ways you could argue our competition with each other. |
| 2:43.0 | We get down and we share ideas and approaches and best practices. And we ask each other questions about what's working and what's not working and we give each other feedback. |
