"I wrote this essay that year - sadly I don't have a copy of it - called On Openness and Control. The nature of it was that openness only comes with control

For #InternationalGinAndTonicDay, what could be better than learning the very international history of Gin, Tonic, and the combination of the two? This video starts with the Gimlet cocktail, but it covers a lot of ground. https://youtu.be/V7jEH6E6l90

It would be great if Gimlet would be part of an open podcast world (or as I call it: podcasts) again.

I stopped listening to #Heavyweight when #Gimlet / #Spotify put it into their “only available on Spotify” walled garden. Now it’s back out on the open web, and I had forgotten how much I enjoyed it. https://overcast.fm/+HKafRb-v8
