Episode 81: Back Up Plan

Good evening and welcome to the show. Would you like still or sparkling water with your podcast this evening?As with most things in life, it's never that simple. This week, we pour out a can of La Croix passionfruit water for the short-lived Keurig KOLD, discuss under what circumstances you should complain at an establishment or send something back at a restaurent (spoiler: never), and why we may or may not be feeling 'the Bern'. Plus: subscription app pricing in the run-up to WWDC, predictions for Monday’s keynote, podcasts as a medium, Bill Simmons on HBO, and Internet mattresses. 🛏.  Links and ImagesChariotKeurig pulls the plug on its pod-based soda maker - EngadgetLa Croix FlavorsThe Best Foam Mattresses You Can Buy Online - The Sweet HomeWhy are podcasts still so hard to make? — MediumThe future of Apple’s App Store is subscriptions - The VergeThe New App Store: Subscription Pricing, Faster Approvals, and Search Ads - Daring FireballSearch Ads - Apple’s Developer SiteWhat's New in Subscriptions - Apple’s Developer SiteApp Store Subscription Uncertainty - Daring FireballGoogle is offering app developers the same revenue-sharing terms Apple just announced — with one big advantage - RecodeLatest hint at ‘macOS’ rebranding of OS X appears in new App Store guidelines - 9To5MacBill Simmons Breaks Free: His "F—ing Shitty" ESPN Exit, Who Courted Him and Details of His HBO Show - The Hollywood ReporterNow TiVo Bolt owners can stream TV anywhere - EngadgetMicrosoft isn't adding a TV DVR feature to the Xbox One anymore - The VergeSources: Smaller Xbox One Coming This Year, More Powerful Xbox One In 2017 [UPDATE] - KotakuPackIt Freezable Lunch Bag with Zip Closure, Black - Amazon
