Blab, yes. Innovation, not so much.
from Failure - the Podcast Hosted by David Powsner
Election fever. With all the news, who can avoid it? Not a news ticker scrolls by without a mention of Biden's age, Trump's trials and RFK's betrayals. We're not immune to it. So when a scheduled guest went AWOL, we figured we'd talk about the first thing that came to mind. Suffice it to say that MAGA conservatives aren't the only ones who hang out in echo chambers.

What this episode covers
Election fever. With all the news, who can avoid it? Not a news ticker scrolls by without a mention of Biden's age, Trump's trials and RFK's betrayals. If you didn't know better, you'd wonder whether the press was just stirring things up. You know, to sell papers, get clicks, or what have you. Nah. The press is too ethical for that. They wouldn't rerun stories just to attract eyeballs. In fact, we're sure that editors at the major news organizations are oblivious to the expected $12+ billion in political ad spend in 2024. Yep. We're not immune to it. Even in Boston, where you can hardly throw a stone without hitting a scientist or engineer. Innovation hums 24 hours a day. Still, it's not loud enough to drown out the political din. So we succumbed. It didn't help that our guest, a serial entrepreneur hot on the trail of a multibillion dollar market went AWOL. With a recording session in the calendar and an anxious listenership waiting, we charged forward. No topic? No problem. We figured we'd talk about the first thing that came to mind. Join us in today's episode of Innovation Blab. Without giving away too much, suffice it to say that MAGA conservatives aren't the only ones who hang out in echo chambers.
