Today we are lucky enough to be graced by a true celebrity - The Face of New Media, Nick Starr. We are joined by Nick and a reporter and photographer who have been following him all day to take part in all the excitement that is Nick’s life. We joke around with the newsies, discuss our usual random subjects and fill in the reporters on some aspects of Nick that he may have left out. It should win an Oscar for the feel-good podcast of the year.

The Face of New Media

Prior to this episode, Nick Starr was chosen by the St. Petersburg Times to be the subject of an article titled "The Face of New Media", on the questionable basis that he was the most tech savvy person in Tampa. Two reporters from the newspaper followed Nick around for the day in order to see to what extent technology plays in his life. This task brought the reporters to the NLO studio where they sat in on the recording of this episode. Unsurprisingly, the article precipitated many jokes at Nick Starr's expense.

Quotes:
0:03:05 - Patrick - "When is this article going to run, first of all?"

- Nick Starr - "I think at the late March"

- Patrick - "Late March? How fucking slow do you type?"

0:12:00 - Patrick - "These are St. Pete. Times reporters laughing at racist jokes, call your senator."

0:15:02 - Patrick (on iPods) - "I’m going to assume that the white one costs more than the black one, because when I go shopping for slaves that’s the way it usually works out."

0:19:51 - Patrick - "Peow! Peow! Sue me… You wanna buy us?"

0:19:57 - Adam - "We’re an asset, not a liability."

0:33:28 - Patrick - "Is this going to be long, or just boring?"
