There's been some really great, really immersive long form writing lately. These are dense but well worth the read. If you have some time over the weekend/next week these are all gems.
- Stupid, Stupid X-Box about the short comings of the X-Box as a fully realized platform. (via)
- Picking apart Brain Pickings. Why Maria Popova's "ad free" claim is disingenuous.
- Why Netflix could very well could be the next HBO.
- Aziz Ansari talks love, the inspiration behind his newest set.
- Dan Harmon interview in Grantland. Again.
- The unstoppable, (now) even keeled Ezra Klein. Too mild mannered for my tastes but still interesting.
Long listen:
- Marc Maron's WTF Podcast episode 358 with Mel Brooks. It's so good I listened to the whole thing twice. 80%!
