🎙️ Podcast Comfort Food
A few days ago I lamented the state of my podcast listening habits but today I got a small ray of sunshine in the form of The Talk Show with John Gruber 🎙️413: 'Holiday Party 2024', With Merlin Mann. Even though John is predominantly an Apple-focused tech blogger and podcaster, it's become a well-received tradition for him and Merlin to do a post-election decompress ever since Trump's first victory in 2016. They continued the tradition in 2020 and needless to say I was quite pleased to see they'd done it for a third time today.
John published a very poignant story on Daring Fireball Friday: How It Went. It's well worth the read, but if you haven't read it yet he also relates the story at the beginning of yesterday's Holiday Party podcast. It was quite moving to hear him tell the story firsthand even though I read it a few days ago. The rest of the podcast has some good discussion, especially if you're a fan of Merlin and John like I am, but the story at the beginning is the real highlight.
