Phil Bronstein and I are back with another week of our new (and still beta) podcast called What Hurts. We cover the top and bottom of the news, and this week, we get into the midriff as well with a discussion of the end of an era at Playboy. What Hurts: I Take Mine Scrambled. You can listen via Soundcloud on our placeholder homepage, or you can listen and subscribe in iTunes (You might have to subscribe to hear the latest episode, I take mine scrambled), or just search for What Hurts in your favorite podcast app. Feedback encouraged.
