At the end of the episode, their prerecorded Blackberry sponsorship message rolls and very explicitly labels Blackberries as smartphones, which made me laugh a little bit. This is really a prime example about horrible advertising for a podcast, mostly because it has an inherent message that conflicts fundamentally with the opinions of the people talking.
