Something Something Widening Gyre

Slate’s Digital Manners podcast has a one-track mind: for serious, CAN WE TEXT DURING DINNER?

And, we don’t know, probably not? Maybe if all dinner companions associate LeVar Burton with Reading Rainbow over Roots? Totally okay if all dinner companions only associate LeVar Burton with Community? Just excuse yourself to go to the bathroom and text while sitting on the toilet like everyone else?

More importantly: do people actually listen to podcasts? Or are they like slideshows?
