What Hurts

What Hurts is leaving us hanging waiting for the next podcast. Have you given up?

What Hurts quickly rose to the top of my Stitcher list. Come for the news commentary, stay for the banter between two funny buddies.

Love it

Once a week Tommy Bronstein leaves his smoked filled workshop, where he’s been helping hand-carve another piece of investigative long-form journalism, and rescues his friend Cheech Pell from snorting HTML and sloganeering from a street corner. They take stock of their wounds and compare notes. Pell believes that “Everything matters!” while Tommy seems more convinced that “Nothing matters.Yet...”. It’s old vs new journalism where the anxiety is redistributed but never diminished. To even out adrenaline levels it wouldn’t hurt if Pell spent some time in that smoke-filled room while Bronstein could take a tab or two.
