The difficult job market stories continue with Karen talking about the recent lay-offs at her company PlayFirst. It sounds like they handled it in the best way possible and Karen was spared in the process. It’s interesting to hear the juxtaposition of the against the 1UP layoffs in January.
This is a very Fitch-centric show, just as it should be. His recent trip to England sounds like it was enjoyable, if not uneventful. The campaign to get Fitch a date is still on and going strong. If you or anyone you know is interested in going on a date with a guy who is open-minded (for the most part), send your emails into [email protected].

Another good podcast from Mr. Scott and friends. I think it’s a toss-up for me as to whether this or Out of the game is my favorite post-GFW podcast. I did miss the Burn Notice talk due to lack of an episode. Though I say that still not having listened to Mr. Green’s new EA podcast.
Sorry for the grammatical errors, it’s 2am.
Jeff’s podcast is highly listenable as well. The sheer fact that EA allows him to be so off-the-cuff says a lot (of good things) about EA.
I still have never seen Burn Notice. I just pretend to know what the whole “spy tips” thing is about.
