This week, a video showcasing an alternate approach to multiplying sparks a long conversation about whether we spend too much time in elementary school on long division and “big multiplication.” Oh, and Sean gets real upset about efficiency.MUSIC: “Kyoto” - Phoebe BridgersADDITIONAL MATERIAL: Russian Multiplication: A Different Way to Multiply (kottke.org)

Ep. 231: Doomscrolling

Why don’t more bars serve beer in pitchers? How do you pick a song for karaoke? What does the word “home” mean to you?Those questions range from silly to serious, but if you’ve ever pondered the answers to all three in a single day, you’re not alone. Pour yourself a cup of coffee, crack a 40, or anything in between, and join the gang here at It’s Pretty OK as we attempt to answer these questions and many more. We promise it won’t be boring.Hosted by Pierce Bishop, Max Handler, Kevin Linger and Sean McGoey, and (very loosely) produced/edited/mixed by Sean McGoey. Logo design by Jack Costello.
