Great interview. Portlandia is fun but it took Carrie away from the All Songs Considered podcast, and I miss hearing her there.

Why stop at forbidding “industry?” You shouldn”t call it a comic “book” unless it’s glued or sewn together with a proper spine.

And “comic” is a synonym for “comedian” so we can’t use that word either in this context.

I guess there’s no acceptable word to correctly describe this object.

You should totally check out the dictionary industry.

That’s interesting, but I’m not going to stop calling it that.

There is no such thing as a “Comic Book Industry”. Nor any other activity themed “industry” that doesn’t actually involve industrial processes.

Hey remember how they did that “fake geek” PSA? Huh.

Last weekend I “used up” my backlog of GWEEK, Make: Talk, and the new Cool Tools podcast, so this is welcome.

Especially because Brownstein is innit; I love Portlandia and think she’s as cute as a button and funny as hell.

I’ve been watching one episode a week via Netflix; soon I’ll be in wait mode, twiddling thumbs until Season Three shows up on the service.

Sleater-Kinney, but I believe it’s pronounced how you spelled it.

I am very excited to listen to this tonight!
