The Gist Slate Magazine

I love Mike Pesca, and this is one of my top five podcasts. It’s incredible what he and his staff manage to pack into a 25 minute (approximately) podcast. Also, the segue music is original and funky. An excellent show with humor cleverly thrown in. Wordsmith extraordinaire!

I've been noticing minor mistakes in your facts these days.Mike, you are really slipping. I think you all need to double check. First, the error about convicted felon Blagojevich now the repeated error with Duhigg. It is this: the idea that Target stores were tracking a young woman's menstrual cycles to determine if/when she was pregnant is not true. this misinformation was delivered in a NYT Sunday mag many years ago about marketing practices but it has since been debunked. Duhigg should be doubly-sure before he introduces hearsay. Come on! Mike, you are really slipping.

Great use of word fumfering!
