We're One of the 100 Best Podcasts of All Time (Allegedly)

According to TIME.

If you don’t know the PTFO house position on external validation, please allow me to reiterate it:

If you interview enough of the winningest and richest and most awarded people in the world — athletes, billionaires, entertainers — you very quickly realize how unhappy so many of them are.

But at the same time, there is a caveat. Because:

Awards are good for business.

And business implies money.

And money — to quote Homer’s brain — can be exchanged for goods and services.

Another, better way to put all of this:

Best-of lists are stupid unless you’re on them.

Well:

All time is a long time. So this honor is especially gratifying for our team at Dan Le Batard’s Meadowlark Media to receive, less than two years after we launched.

But for the record: we also don’t co-sign everything this list or even our review says, most especially about our “Greek chorus.” (How fucking dare you.)

Still, pretty cool.

Also: PTFO is hopping in and out of a dark week here and there — the last gasps of our only real vacation — as we produce and investigate a few big (and totally new) stories. We’ll bring you some of our own best-of episodes, in exchange.

I am also trying to be better about giving our (exhausted) team a break.

In the meantime, though…

Thank you so much for paid-subscribing.

Thank you for telling your friends to do the same.

Thank you for helping provide us with goods and services.

A lot, lot more to come.

And soon.

Sincerely,

Pablo
