Episode 10: Shorts, Flip-Flops, Aereo, Cars and Shaving




The George Hahn Podcast show

Summary: After a witchy winter, spring has sprung, including a little flirtation with 80º F earlier in the week. With the warmer weather come shorts and flip-flops, about which I have some definite feelings I express in this episode. And though I did enjoy the time with my partner-in-crime at this year's New York International Auto Show, I discuss the vanilla experience of the show overall, which exhibited fleets of boring-looking luxury cars, stripped of all character and sex appeal and in desperate need of design CPR. Also on my mind, and on the radar of media/entertainment reporters lately, is Aereo, a brilliant (and affordable) service that provides live broadcast television over the internet to computers, iPads, iPhones, and the Roku. It's a beautiful disruption to the stale broadcast and cable subscription models that has networks and cable providers really pissed. And finally… just when you think you're going to learn something new in a magazine or on a blog about getting the perfect shave, just remember: you're not. It's all been said before, and there is nothing new to say or learn. (But it won't stop me from writing my own "definitive" piece on getting the perfect shave. Stay tuned for that.)
