92: Zoom in on the Fish Head

from Reconcilable Differences · host Merlin Mann and John Siracusa

This week’s *wraparound episode* kicks off with coverage of Merlin's new overalls and baby-bottle-nipple hat. John has some thoughts on this new sartorial turn, and Merlin has questions about John's sleep. Merlin gets an alarming message. Merlin expresses gratitude for John's introduction to a new band, and this leads to a discussion of how your hosts discover, consume, and curate music these days. Who's wearing a Beatles wig, and when does it work? Tricking kids into liking music is considered. Your hosts agree that children are the worst. Stupid babies. In follow-up, Merlin apologizes for the recent crappiness of an app he'd recommended, and John talks about the simple problem he actually needs to solve. Bad TV interfaces come up. Yes, *again*. Merlin has questions about John's fad diet, and John still loves carbs. Diets are further discussed. *Saturday is treat day*. Finally, John helps Merlin understand which places are and are not on Long Island. (_Recorded on Tuesday, November 15th, 2018._)

Bilmasri [in Egyptian Arabic] Nesrin Amin Bilmasri is a podcast and blog (www.bilmasri.com) dedicated to the Egyptian dialect. It is for learners of Arabic (ideally anywhere between lower intermediate to advanced level) who have so far been focusing on Modern Standard Arabic (MSA), who may or may not have some knowledge of another Arabic dialect, and who would like to understand how the Egyptian dialect works. The starting point of most blog posts and podcast episodes is a text in Modern Standard Arabic – a news story, an excerpt from a work of fiction, or another form of text – which has been adapted into Egyptian Arabic.In the first part of each podcast episode, I will slowly read out the Egyptian version of the text. In the second part, I will take you through (in English) one or more aspects of the language just heard: this could be the pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, idioms, etc., with a particular focus on the differences and similarities between Egyptian and MSA.The blog post w The Love Beyond Podcast National Day of Prayer Task Force The Love Beyond podcast is powered by the National Day of Prayer Task Force.Love looks like something. This podcast series will inform and equip the church on our nation’s most pressing issues, providing biblical insight, Spirit-led prayer and strategic calls to action. Episodes will help Christians show and share God’s love beyond our differences, our political preferences, our homes, and places of work and school. Be challenged, transformed and compelled to 'Love Beyond'.
