Sorry about the delay in content. We should have a fantastic podcast up here soon (check back Superbowl Sunday or Monday). For now I thought I’d tide over our listeners with a contest!
Here is the deal. Just like The New Yorker used to have the write a caption for a cartoon contest (maybe they still do but that’s irrelevant). I want you to write a caption for this picture of Futile Podcast editor and chief Ian Strope:
you can email your caption ideas here: Futilepodcast@gmail.com
in the subject say Futile contest or something to that effect. Include your caption (you may write as many as you like) and your mailing address and I’ll go through my box of watched DVDs and find some true gem to send your way!
