With it being a slow few weeks, our only hope was to gather random little news stories, throw them at the wall and see what sticks…
That is all.

inThirty 131 – Just Walk Away
In our new favorite segment, we give the reins to Paul, so he can find the most blasé stories on the the internet this week. The goal is to get through 10 stories in 30 minutes. Do we accomplish this?

What’s in The News – inThirty 119
Chaim decided for this week, he would do something different. He chose 7 random news stories, and for once he cared about their opinion. To get the female perspective we invited Kelly Guimont to join us.
Here are the stories:

Amazon.com, Editor In Chief – inThirty 105
With Jeff Bezos buying The Washington Post, we felt like we had to discuss it. We focus on how news gets consumed, and the future of news. We then speculate how this fits in with Amazon’s business model, and their newly minted content creator status.
[We had audio problems with hangouts, hence no video. Piezo records left/right channels, so you will hear Chaim on the left channel.]
