Tomorrow

Throwback Tomorrow! The enigmatic and hilarious Paul Ford returns to Tomorrow to discuss his recent, critically acclaimed Businessweek story "What Is Code?" The two men actually manage to stay on topic for a little while, but the conversation soon devolves (evolves?) into a whirlwind discussion about commenters, Batman, and Nokia. In addition, listeners will have a front row seat to the birth of a unique, high-concept restaurant. Josh and Ryan will return with your regularly scheduled podcast in one week.

On this edition of Tomorrow, Josh and Ryan are joined by Slate's Chief Political Correspondent and CBS News Analyst Jamelle Bouie to discuss public policy, the upcoming midterm elections, and Bernie 2020. Though before we get to those important, meaty topics, we've also gotta discuss Spider-Gwen, pansexuality, Sailor Socialism, and sell-out culture. (Please, please help us sell-out.)

Is it Yanny or is it Laurel or is it a reason to scream blood?

Josh Topolsky, CEO and editor in chief of The Outline, talks with Recode's Peter Kafka about the importance of good internet-native design for both advertising and editorial content. Topolsky dismisses the idea that everything publishers put out will move behind paywalls, arguing instead that when ads are well done, they can engage readers and support free content. Most of the time, though, online media companies have forced boring ads on their audiences, who have learned to ignore them. He also talks about his past life as a music producer, picking a fight with Mike Bloomberg, and what it's like to raise money when you have a reputation as someone who can be difficult to work with.

On this week's Tomorrow, Ryan is in a deep depression caused by Gina Haspel, Iran, and Google's latest round of terrifying robots with names like "Oopsy Doopsy!" Don't worry, Josh cheers him up by reminding him to live, laugh, love and dance like nobody's watching. Then we sit down to discuss the week in pop culture with The Outline's own Ann-Derrick Gaillot. We almost get through the entire episode without finding out how Elon Musk and Grimes met – but alas, no such luck. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

To answer your question, yes, episode 115 contains more discussion of Kanye and Facebook – but this week Josh and Ryan also talk about incels, the two Koreas, and Josh’s crush on Vision. How depressing is the Tom Brokaw news? Listen folks, it’s bad. But luckily we chase it with some hopeful information about how you can help incarcerated moms this week.

Come on. You already know what we have to discuss on this week's episode of Tomorrow. So, after getting through some thoughts about Kanye, Josh and Ryan tackle the Golden State Killer (not literally, though someone definitely did) and then shop online for things they decidedly do not need. Eventually, music and gaming writer Lewis Gordon calls in from across the pond with his thoughts on ambient games, Brian Eno, and other digital meditations. You will walk away from our show with a sense of peace and calm. Just this once. Savor it. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

For this installment of Tomorrow, Josh follows Ryan down a rabbit hole of Beychella, k-cups, and marijuana candies – eventually culminating in them both joining Scientology. At some point The Outline’s weekend editor, Drew Millard, flies up from North Carolina to put to a stop to this kind of nonsense. For the one hundred and THIRTEENTH episode we discuss the death of Art Bell (RIP!) and for 420 we mention weed! Numerology is real! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
