Like all great curators, Pell continually provides answers to questions you weren’t even aware you were asking; even as he feeds your mind, he cultivates and expands your curiosity. I read NextDraft the way I breathe, and for the same reason.

It's not just that Dave Pell hooks me up with things I'm interested in; it's that he hooks me up with things I don't even know about that fascinate me. Plus he's a first-rate emcee, he really makes me laugh, and I love his goggles.
