I've only seen this show once -- and not the episode with Miso Media -- and I always wondered how many "pitches" a company makes before they come on. Most of the ones I saw seemed woefully unprepared (unlike Miso Media), although that might

But regardless of whether they actually have grounds, I guess my question is still: why do they need to backpedal publicly? That is, why can't they just say "we're going to sue" and then not? Is that just a faux pas in the legal community,

To me, it seems like this (the ? ) is the strongest feature of the app. My kneejerk reaction is that if you go to a place often enough to save it, you probably don't need directons anyway (or won't after one or two trips). Nitpick aside, th

I'm not very familiar with the legal community, but is there a reason they would have to clarify this? I feel like this undermines their position significantly -- from "we will actively try to stop this" to "we don't like this and really ho

While I understand and respect the general unhappiness with the TAL and Daisey situation. I think this is an unreasonable extrapolation. Both shows (TAL, and especially The Moth) are about storytelling. There are times (like the Daisey inci
