Episode 332 – SING SING

Runtime 94 minutes Show Contents 0:00 Introduction 2:08 Know Your Enemy with guest Britany Murphy 28:23 The New Slang: SING SING 62:51 The Other Side: Britany and Ryan talk further reading after Greg Kwedar’s new film Thoughts from your host… During the intro of this week’s episode, I talk about the way that time flies. Specifically, I mention that it’s been two whole years since my guest and I did a podcast together…but as I sit here and look at the calendar, I realize that time has flown in a whole other way. You see, next week, it will mark seventeen years since I started this little space. Back then it was more about writing than recording, but still – I sat, I wrote, I published…no one read. (Some things never change) But my thoughts were put out into the world…and nothing was the same. I have met some of the most wonderful people since I first tapped “publish” – people who have shaped me in all sorts of ways and who I wouldn’t be the same without. Some people I only know from a distance, others who I don’t know as well as I used to…but all have had an impact, and they all came into my life over this stretch of seventeen years that has passed in a blink. Is that a good thing? Is that a bad thing? Hard to say, honestly – but I believe it’s worth noting. Time is a funny thing – we always feel like we have lots of it, or that not that much has passed. We’re wrong, in both cases. I think I heard that somewhere once…”Ryan is Wrong”. Thanks for spending some time with me…whether it was a little or a lot; just yesterday or seventeen years back. I’ve cherished every scond. Links Mentioned on Episode 332: Britany’s Know Your Enemy History – Matineecast 292 Matineecast 331 (the second most recent episode!) where we also talked about GRAVITY.
