Punching Down 0001 - Punching Down

What this episode covers

Punching Down is a podcast (and some accompanying notes) on media from Justin Beck and Eve Batey. In Episode 1 we talk about some modest improvements made to the new Google Reader, as well as Justin's unpleasant reminder by Occupy Oakland that four legs good, two legs bad! And, we'll needlessly speculate whether or not occupiers of SF attacked members of the San Francisco Police Department during a recent march in solidarity with Egypt. Call our Google Voice number at 415-8PUNCH0 (415-878-6240) and make fun of morning coffee. We'll play the best voicemails on our next show!
