Show Notes

We all want to be a part of something! And that's bad by the way. Today we're joined by crossword afficionado Demi Adejuyigbe to talk about the brainy older sister of adult coloring books: adult word games. Are crosswords just a safe way for people in their 30s to practice being old men or are they leading to historically low literacy levels because they are replacing book-reading? Is knowing a bunch of random trivia a form of toxic information-domming? Has the New York Times lost its way? Plus: We come up with some new ideas for things the federal government can do to make streaming television more fun!

Come to our extra-spooky HALLOWEEN LIVE SHOW at the Bell House in Brooklyn on 10/27: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/straightiolab-tickets-728339060737?aff=oddtdtcreator
