I know that Internet strangers can be harsh, but don't let the trolls win with "anyway, sorry if you think it's terrible".

I'm not big on podcasts, so this isn't for me personally, but it seems like a cool idea. Wikipedia's random page function has a lot of fans, so I can see the value for people who want to learn random stuff from a podcast.

thanks! it's kind of more like an old radio show. i pre-troll myself in many directions.

and btw, not random pages: each episode is centered on 5 Verge stories, 5 USA Today stories, and 5 heavily edited Wikipedia pages from the past week (or past few days when it was 2/week). so it's kinda like John Oliver, but it has an absurd meta-story about the four writer-performers too.

in episode 5 iirc mark zuckerberg hacks into hacker news
