This week on the show, Harry and I yapped about a number of different media-adjacent topics, basketball and otherwise. What began as a discussion of how we each follow the NBA turned into a much longer conversation about cutting-edge media in other spheres, namely, the daily streaming tech show Technology Business Programming Network (TBPN). What should one make of the success of an X dot com–based show broadcast during the middle of the workday that is mostly impenetrable to non-tech audiences? To what extent is TBPN's explicitly boosterish, non-journalistic outlook a problem? Does this connect at all to hoops media (yes)?
We also talked about the unc-nephew axis, Rob Dillingham's 2008 Financial Crisis hoodie, and the Toronto Raptors, which is why this blog post has a photo of Brandon Ingram atop it. No guest this week, though we have two very special episodes with Defector staffers planned for the next two weeks!
