This week on Sneaky Dragon: a little sadness and tears mixed in with our usual goofiness. In this episode, Ian and Dave discuss: Time – Ian says it isn’t linear and Dave maintains Time is a simultaneous event; do Ian and Dave have Olympics fever; Ian thinks the terrorists have won – they can stop now; public shaming – losing jobs and ruing lives since forever; our current culture of feedback loops and narrow-casting; Ian has some aquarium facts; you should listen to Malcolm Gladwell’s Revisionist History podcast (says Ian); satire – does it work; and, finally, pets and the high cost of loving (as the Style Council once put it).
Thanks for listening.
And please don’t forget to think up some questions for our upcoming Listener’s Questions Episode. As per usual, we’ll have goody bags for all participants and a grand prize that we’ll raffle off to one lucky questioneer. Every question equals one chance so the more questions you ask – the more chances you have to win!

Very sorry for your loss Ian 🙁
Thanks Philip.
Ian and David,
I recently found your Sneaky Dragon podcast because of my love for Tintin. At the moment I’m still making my way through Totally Tintin (I’m up to The Crab with the Golden Claws). Great show! Love it! And I’ve also been enjoying the Sneaky Dragon podcast. However, the most recent podcast was emotionally a little tough to get through. It hasn’t been that long ago that I had to say goodbye to a much loved pet as well. Ian, I’m very sorry to hear the sad news about August.
Big Thank You to both of you for keeping me entertained with blood, sweat and tears on my daily commutes.
Sorry to be late with this. Ian, I was touched and moved to tears myself by your sharing of Augie’s passing. It was immensely brave to be publicly so vulnerable. We share our lives with our pets, and the emotion invested can’t easily be brushed aside. They are often our companions, not our property. Dave, thanks for allowing Ian so much room to express the hard stuff and giving just the right amount of sympathetic interjections. I’m proud of you both.
Thanks Marcus!
i hate to nit-pick, but could someone please correct this episode from 146 to 246? it throws out the geomatria.
Thanks, Warren. I have hopefully fixed it.
