Welcome to the End of Civilization

EPISODE 367: We answer questions, live.

As evidenced by our interview with the Honorable Tom McMillen… or the time we taped a secret whistleblower complaint to the underside of the NBA commissioner’s chair in Boston… we’ve been experimenting with how to do live versions of the show.

The McMillen interview, for instance, was taped and post-produced but premiered live on YouTube, which allowed me the personal pleasure of being in the chat with our audience. The Aspiration sequel we did at the Sloan Conference, on the other hand, was streamed live live, without a safety net of any kind.

But this week, we tried doing something else: our first live live episode, from the PTFO studio in New York, in which the people at the desk could react to what the audience was demanding.

And so we called up two of our favorite spontaneous reactors — Katie Nolan and Michael Cruz Kayne — as we waited for a nuclear bomb to drop. (Or not.)

YOUTUBE SPOILER ALERT:

WHO KNOWS,
