The One About The Important Thing

One hundred episodes. For this occasion, years in the coming, Lyle and I talk about the thing itself — the nuts and bolts of the podcast, including how the robots now do an alarming amount of the work, what a hundred episodes taught us, and why we use the “The One About…” naming convention.

🎁: the show has a home at importantthing.show. Deep-link a favorite or just scroll through a hundred episodes of history.

Stuff that came up:

• Riverside, where we record the show
• Rands Leadership Slack, now staffed by a helpful jobs robot named Floyd
• Planetfall, the Infocom classic Floyd is named after
• Friends, the homage hiding in plain sight in every episode title
• Marco Arment, listening since at least episode fifty
