      I just realized that my father used to do podcasts when I was a kid. He ran a chess magazine for the blind that was on audio tapes. He used to record them after we went to bed. I would fall asleep to the sound of "rook takes bishop, mate."

          I remember you making an offhand remark in the Stanford startup school series poking fun at podcast related businesses. Have you changed your tune? :)
