Cheese is back on the podcast! He’s a Colts season ticket holder and head boys basketball coach at Loogootee High School in Indiana. We talk about whether either of us would trade Cam Newton for Andrew Luck straight up. We also talk about Newton as a way into talking about our fandom and what we think of on field celebrations and post game press conference walk offs. I bring up Gronk’s party cruise and you’d be right to tell me to stay in my own lane when I speak the words, “Flo Rida.”

Podcast: Let Your Macro Drive The Micro Edition

In this week’s podcast Torg thinks through macro and micro thinking as related to Howard Rheingold’s book, Net Smart: How to Thrive Online. Torg applies the idea of micro and macro thinking to his upcoming research leave and the coaching of his daughters’ basketball team. There’s also a response to some nonsense about the difference between a professor and a teacher.

Torg goes it alone on this week’s podcast and begins by talking about some of the ideas in Howard Rheingold’s book, Net Smart: How to Thrive Online. Torg applies the idea of micro and macro thinking to his upcoming research leave and the coaching of his daughters’ basketball team. He finishes off by discussing an article in The Chronicle of Higher Education, “Silly Sanctimonious Games: How a Syllabus Sparked a War Between a Professor and a College.” Torg explains why he thinks the claim in the article about the difference between a professor and a teacher is nonsense.
