Summary
TOPIC: Asterisks and Question Marks.
This week, Dan and Merlin cover corgis (and other pets), asking for lettuce wraps, high-floor sandwiches, bread in a tube, John Wick (no spoilers), and the wonderful comic infographics of Kate Willaert.
There is some ecosystem talk regarding ride sharing statistics and Apple's announced addition of podcast listening analytics. How many bits of identifying information are you sending?
Your hosts answer Listener Tim's question about when to accept that you can't do everything and should just let go of old project ideas.
