Podcast Contest and Super Podcast Intro

This week I'm joined by Don Caldwell (https://twitter.com/doncald), senior editor of Know Your Meme (http://knowyourmeme.com/). Don brought the heat this week to debate possible solutions for fake news, including labels and censorship. Are the same people dumb enough to share fake news smart enough to heed labels? Only one way to find out: give them "pirate candy" and let nature run its course. If you don't know what that is, buy some shoes. Also, we've got a new audio engineer this week, Smart Mark. I don't know if that nickname will stick, but he agreed with me a few times during this episode, which is the highest indicator of intelligence that there is. Mensa is revising their IQ tests to include an episode of this podcast and a measure of agreement. We also played the intro theme to SUPER PODCAST CHAMPION EDITION: TURBO for the first time ever.
