Show #78 - Doin' it Right


After another brief hiatus the talkin' dudes are back to wrap up season three of Game of Thrones (but in a way that doesn't make the NSA suspicious). Discussed: the NSA wiretapping scandal, why Monolith isn't bothered by the revelations and Bear Trap is alarmed, worst-case scenarios made possible by PRISM are described and then shot down, what kind of man Snowden is, a word of the week Truman Capote would appreciate, the new iOS7 has been loaded onto Monolith's iPhone 5 and its look and feel are described, the podcasters current state of anticipation for 'Man of Steel', and finally, a look back at Game of Thrones and the season that was: which stories make the down and dirty dealing in Westeros seem like child's play, how Martin's unspoken through-line in GoT was diluted in the penultimate episode, and a little talk about Daft Punk's new album, 'Random Access Memories'. Enjoy yourselves, guys.
