I am still pissed that you weren't picked for the original Dream Team. Did it upset you at the time? Do you have any insight as to why they picked Laettner over you? Did you think about that every time you dominated him in the NBA for the next 15 years?

As a long-time lover of the show who has listened to every podcast you’ve ever published and brought up things I’ve learned in the show in conversation dozens of times, I have been troubled by your response to the Jonah Lehrer situation.

As far as I can tell, the only response to the accusation and later admission of plagiarism has been a couple of blog posts, one of which was very supportive of Lehrer and the other was a short note about corrections.

Why haven’t you discussed this situation on the show? As commenters to your blog have noted, it’s not like there isn’t a model for the right way to handle something like this (TAL re: Mike Daisey).

One critical thing that’s not clear is whether or not you’d allow Lehrer to contribute to a future show. If the answer is yes, we deserve to know the rationale behind that decision. And if the answer is no, we deserve to know if you stand by every story he’s contributed to in the past.

Accident, sure. But happy?

What have you got against u/wilwheaton?

If I had a nickel for every time someone qualified something by tacking on an "I'm not Stan Lee"...
