Some people have urged me to start a podcast; in particular, one fellow showed me an app the other day such that there is now no practical obstacle to my doing this at once.

I need to show that I can speak off the cuff about current events, and an opportunity to do so came in the controversy over recent tweets by Maria Chappelle-Nadal. A transcript appears below.
