Hi, I'm Ed Zittron, host of the Better offline Podcast.

I've been both a tech writer and a tech executive for 15 years,

and I've seen this industry grow from a bunch of dorks building things in their

garage into a multi trillion dollar behemoth that has monetized every corner of our lives.

Better offline is a podcast where I'll lead you through the good, the bad and the stupid of the tech industry.

And tell you exactly how venture capitalists and technocrat billionaires intend to influence

your digital lives. Listen to better offline on the IHOP radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever else you get your

podcast.

Welcome to Before Breakfast, a production of I Heart Radio.

Good morning. This is Laura. Welcome to the Before Breakfast Podcast. Today's

tip is that you are fairly waterproof or at least you'll dry quickly.

Plenty of outdoor activities may be more pleasant

when it is not raining than when it is,

or when the weather is otherwise less than agreeable.

But it is still more fun to enjoy yourself and get wet,

then skip the fun and stay dry.

You will probably be dry again in a little while, one way or another.

So I'm taking the title of this episode from a recent dilemma in my family. We were pondering grilling because well

grilled food tastes good, but it was also drizzling, which isn't exactly

grilling weather. But it turns out that they make umbrellas.

And you don't have to stand outside for that long when you're grilling.

You can go in and out.
