What is ATP?

EDIT: Never mind I googled ATP Podcast and found it. Accidental Tech Podcast which is referenced above.

I listen to some well produced podcasts that I doubt make money. Slate podcasts are pretty good but I Just bet their audience is small in terms of making a profit.

ATP sounds like a tennis podcast if you don't follow Apple.

Yeah, probably not much, the thing about podcasts is you don't need a lot of subs to get into the black. It's like all these tv shows now with only 1-2 million regular viewers.

Off topic but IIRC, Slate was owned by Microsoft who then sold it to WaPo? Who was then bought by Amazon? I wonder who owns it now.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

It's not that far off topic:podcasts.

And what is IIRC?

I use old Taylor Made clubs from eBay and golf shops.

If I recall correctly. 

If anyone's interested, Bezos owns The Washington Post independently of Amazon.

I don't listen to any podcasts but I watch a fair amount of streaming.

https://www.twitch.tv/

https://beam.pro/

Most of the streams are video game related of course but Twitch has a Creative section that was quite busy for a while (more-so on evenings/weekends).  If you're curious to see live gameplay before you buy a game or want to ask a streamer questions about a game it's a great way to do that.  Or if you're curious to see woodworking, cooking, drawing, programming, or a variety of other trades the Creative section is good for that too.

I've been listening to his Podcast on Tolkin. He's going to spending the next year or two going through the Hobbit and LOTR books.

Better than Serial? Or too different to say? Only halfway through 1st episode. Reviews coming up, so probably need to get going.

Through episode 1 and some of 2 it seems quite similar to Serial.

Its not.

I'm in the middle of ep 4 right now.  Good for everything else but bad for podcasts is that my commute isn't that long. :). Only most of one episode per day for me.

@jamo, you're a monster, the whole thing in 24 hours? I'm going to cheat a little and read some of the transcript if they finish soon enough.

FWIW, I'd recommend listening to it over reading a transcript. You really want to get to know the characters.

Better than Serial season 2. Not as good as season 1.

Halfway through episode 5. Holy Rashomon. I'm inclined to believe Rita now. What a mess though.

Rita sounds well adjusted and has records. Tyler has kids with 3 women before 21. Who are you gonna trust?

    • I kind of like this interpretation especially if you think about it the unplayable rule would probably put you in a better spot.  using back on the line releief.  
    • I did not realize that, I was thinking a more traditional golf club.  
    • Thanks for the feedback. @StuM, we are a "club without real estate" so no facilities or pro. We have a membership of around 185 players and we only play together as a group at our tournaments, which are held at public access courses. A group of us setup the tournaments, collect the money and dole out the prizes.
    • In general, granting free relief anywhere on the course isn't recommended.  Similarly, when marking GUR, the VSGA and MAPGA generally don't mark areas that are well away from the intended playing lines, no matter how poor the conditions.  If you hit it far enough offline, you don't necessarily deserve free relief.  And you don't have to damage clubs, take unplayable relief, take the stroke, and drop the ball in a better spot.
    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.
