iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Looking over this list of 100 podcasts has me feeling grateful for the career I've had thus far and a little nostalgic for all the hope and promise I once felt about this industry.

And then way back in late 2014, just as the podcast industry was starting to surge, I agreed to intern at WNYC's Death, Sex & Money (7). I think I was their first ever intern. It was really exciting to be a part of that show just as it was ascending.

At The Ringer I was the original producer behind The Big Picture(3), Binge Mode (4) and The Rewatchables (5). All shows I helped develop and frankly had a great time making. Every now and then I'd pop in and help produce the Bill Simmons Podcast (6).

Starting with Alternate Realities a season of NPR Embedded (1) that I hosted earlier this year. A version of that same story also ran as a standalone episode on This American Life (2).

On the latest @soundschoolpodcast.bsky.social, @rob-rosenthal.bsky.social hands the mic over to @sherships.bsky.social and @zachmack.bsky.social to discuss the making of Alternate Realities. Prepare for conspiracy theories and polarizing family disagreements.

Am I allowed to say that watching OKC play absolutely bores the shit out of me. How can a group of young guys be so swagless in their game?

Harvard & any other biz or institution that can afford it has to fight Trump. Make him fight a never ending war on multiple fronts The excuse that Harvard can’t just go to their 50 billion dollar endowment like a piggy bank is horseshit. Why else do you have billions laying around? TIMES LIKE THIS

i really loved @zachmack.bsky.social's podcast about the drastic lengths he went to to ween his dad off conspiracy theories, and i'm so glad Josiah got to chat with him about the experience.

It’s amazing that game was even close when you look at what OKC’s main guys did vs the T’Wolves main guys SGA: 40 PTS, 9 REB, 10 AST Jalen Williams: 34 PTS Chet: 21 PTS Edwards: 16 points Randle: 5 points Gobert: 13 points 95 to 34

Extremely funny for ESPN to play a diddy beat during the game despite the trial happening RN #okcvsmin

I feel like 33% of all ads I see on TV are with either Kevin Hart or Shaq

What is this meta quest bullshit all over the nba?

Lounges and lounge access at airports is totally ridiculous. Just make airports nice for everyone and we don’t all have to wait in line with fancy credit cards for no reason

My big club night in Berlin was so sick. Hit up 3 spots Club 1: Bouncer asks “1st time?”, then “why are you alone?” Then steps aside “sorry not tonight” Club 2: Longest line I’ve ever seen Club 3: *bouncers just shakes his head no

Still can’t believe they let OKC steal Seattle’s team and then steal the Warriors color and mascot name

The number of times I’ve seen Tatum try that lazy ass fall away 3 to ice the game that never goes down Has no one ever told him he’s not great at that?

There is a simplicity to ‘the studio’ that I absolutely love.

Zach Mack @zachmack.bsky.social · 04/05/2025

I still think “family matters’ is a significantly better song than ‘meet the grahams’ …but the master stroke to drop it minutes after and then follow up the next day with ‘not like us’ 😮‍💨

The least human person you know is advising us on the value of human connection. Never gets old

If you’re a Pistons fan screaming about a foul on that double clutch prayer YOU’RE focusing on the wrong reason you lost Glad they didn’t get that bailout call tbh

‘Last of us’ killed off the only believable actor / remotely decent hang on the show lol Good luck guys. I will not sticking around for mushroom men

Nothing motivates a narcissist like revenge Honestly I blame Lebron for making him feel small and insecure We all remember Obama roasting Trump at the correspondence dinner and what happened after 🤦🏻‍♂️

Zach Mack @zachmack.bsky.social · 15/04/2025

The arrogance to never work in politics or public service and just think you can step in and get the TOP JOB is why we are in this mess to begin with No more loud mouth narcissist TV stars thank you
