We kill scripts, we kill projects an exploration phase quite a bit. There's a bit of structure involved and a lot of trust. We generally solicit feedback from the team but if you're scared to be excited about your idea, don't do it. Um, there is technically, like a n button, like a stop button. I don't think we eve the rig ever leasl it. But we have people pictrust stories all the time.

We have Matt Daniels on the show again (after more than 3 years!). Matt is the CEO of The Pudding, a collective of journalist-engineers that create visual essays that explain ideas debated in culture. Their pieces are incredibly engaging, somewhat witty and always stunning from the visual point of view.
Since our first interview with Matt, The Pudding has been hugely successful with visual essays being very popular and highly debated at the same time. The Pudding has also a very interesting business structure being partially financed by its readers and accepting submissions for visual pieces developed by freelancers.
On the show we talk about what the Pudding is and how it operated. We also comment on some of the most popular pieces. And finally Matt provides more details on how you can get involved with the Pudding and work with them if you want.
