    Admittedly, I haven't read DI in quite a while, but seeing this post brought back a flood of memories from my college days of waiting for the next article to drop. This blog was the precursor of an entire genre of "generally interesting shit" that has kind of underpinned most of the spirit of podcasting today. Shows like 99PI, Stuff You Should Know, RadioLab and so on owe I think a little something to this blog.

    The amount asked for is meager, and I was more than happy to throw some bucks at it.

      Generally interesting shit, as a category, has been shedding audience figures. It's unclear which of the explanations for this is correct.

    I miss the old internet. I wish this fellow traveler well.
