Summary: What does the show "House of Cards" have to do with blogging? How do characters like Frank Underwood wield power and influence through new media? Today, Kevin and Jason talk about "House of Cards" and the power of influence. How do we get our way in life? What's the point of writing online if it's not to gain something? Can power and influence be achieved through new media? SPOILER ALERT: We talk about the show "House of Cards." So yeah, be ready for that. Links to some of the ideas we brought up in the show: Our new theme song is "Street Preacher" by Jason's band, Jason and the Beast. Thanks, Jason! Woo hoo! Theme song! Jason mentioned the book, Trust Me, I'm Lying: Confessions of a Media Manipulator by Ryan Holiday. Also, I will appear on Len Edgerly's podcast, The Kindle Chronicles, on Friday. Len's been blogging about the podcast episode. I love that Len's writing about process and how he prepares for his podcast every week. We both appreciate the response we've had to the show so far!
