Hello and welcome to something's off with Andrew Heaton. I am secretly Andrew Heaton.

And today I bring on J.W. Crump back to the program, comedy writer in New York.

We are going to discuss problems in media. There are several.

And I think it'll be an interesting chat because JW and I have spoken about this a couple times in the past.

I don't want to say we directly clash on what we've used problems, but the sort of constellations of opinions swimming around in our different perspectives are different.

And so we are going to kind of do a back and forth

of what strikes us as issues in media.

And I think it'll be a very good chat.

But before we do that, I do need to pay the bills.

So let's give a shout out to this week's sponsor.

Something's Off with Andrew Heaton is brought to you by Fromage de Pierre, proud makers of glow-in-the-dark

cheese.

Friends, if you're like me, you can't get enough cheese.

I personally love some warm monser with olives or a good Swiss cheese.

And my favorite is flavorful blue cheeses like St.

St. Auguste, or if I could scare it up St. Auger, I particularly like St. Auger.

But what happens when you have a craving for cheese at midnight and you want to grab some from the fridge. Well, now you've got

to track down a flashlight and rifle through your refrigerator like a burglar and

afterwards you're just sitting at your dining table in the pitch black darkness like a moron trying to eat that cheese but failing.

Why? Because you can't see it.

There you are, jabbing invisible lactate through the air like a blind toddler, flinging

it at walls and impaling yourself with a fork.
