All I remember from their last podcast wrt Woods:

Bruin Report Online moving to On3 (lol)

He laid out the entire AI thing with digital media and how the article consolidation fucks over these sites that live off of clicks.

Their opinions on UW have become kind of surface level because they actually try to somewhat cover all 18 B1G teams plus mention the old Pac schools.

Is 247 coming to an end? On3 being the last life raft of college football media is really bad. Truly one of the biggest pile of shit entities to ever exist. So many things have come together over the last 20+ years to make college football and a lot of sports media basically 99% free fan coverage and 1% access journalism. It's pretty crazy I have old UW football media guides I flip through sometimes and 20+ years ago they list out all the key people with contact info who professionally cover UW football and it's probably around 20, if not more, and now it's basically 1-3.

Yes journalism has been hollowed out but at least we have AI slop and its accompanying robot narrator voice.👍🏻👍🏻

It sucks but I don't really know a way around keeping journalism from falling apart given the way technology and audiences evolved. I don't read traditional articles very often, I don't subscribe to a newspaper, and my attention span has shrunk. Ideally, I would love for there to be a way for non access journalism people to be able to make a comfortable living doing something that replicates what we had like daily/very regular podcasts that I can have on while I do other shit but I wonder if there are more people than you can count on 1-2 hands in the entire state of Washington who make a real living on a podcast.

I think our entire structure of journalism and media was built up on and still barely sustaining advertising, which might be a giant illusion of value. The just start doing shit for free on one of the 1-3 companies you can and 1 person out of 100 million get selected by the algorithm to create slop is not a good model across the board for anyone other than those companies.

I think I asked this before, but do you remember an issue you did in the early-2000s. I think published by Doogman where you had the cover of Sgt. Peppers, but it was all UW-related people? It's stuck in my head as one of my favorite images of all-time but I can't remember if it even existed or not.
