Indeed the Best Magazine

The best magazine in print today. Those properties don’t always travel as well in the podcast format. The guests/topics are often interesting, sometimes compelling. David Remnick is mult-italented: nearly as keen a podcast host as he is an editor. There is value in brevity however, some topics require the long form.

Unfortunate

Unfortunate that the New Yorker would interview Jerry Seinfeld. A man who dated a minor young woman (17) when he was 38. It also seems that he has spent an inordinate amount of time entertaining the IDF when he hasn't done the same for the United States military. It's time for the New Yorker to make better choices.
