Great listen, thanks! 
Interesting episode, with historical and sociological observations.

It was a good listen!
Go West Young Man posted This thread about it last month, and now my music app won't stop recommending Decoder Ring and other podcasts, even though I'm usually there for music. That's my only gripe about listening to it

I downloaded it to listen to on the way to work today. Should be a fun listen. Thanks for sharing.
I just listened to it while preparing dinner. It was good.
It was also a little surreal. There were many just, wry observations about the ironies of marketing and late capitalism.
And then the announcer would seamlessly launch herself into an ad about how stupendously great some software company or other podcast is.
Irony squared, I guess.

I had many of the same thoughts while listening. I did enjoy the podcast though.
All 40 minutes were worthwhile. I learned a lot about the history of our beloved implements. Who knew that King Camp Gillette envisioned a utopian society?
Good listen!! Thanks for posting!
