It's interesting, the Love Me podcast is by his two former producers, and I feel that has a more WireTap vibe. But so does Heavyweight. Do we have two versions of WireTap now?Chi-Town Kid 83https://www.blogger.com/profile/00326501870359187265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1201852592224309830.post-85810256651487246972016-09-30T11:52:44.110-07:002016-09-30T11:52:44.110-07:00My thoughts on 2nd episode of heavyweight with Gre...My thoughts on 2nd episode of heavyweight with Gregor and Moby:<br /> <br />Presidency of Estonia! I would lean towards this episode being fiction, but it seems so real. Certainly the president of Estonia grew up in Estonia, so Gregor could not have gone to school with him. But the president of Estonia did grow up in America. His wikipedia page states: "Toomas Hendrik Ilves was born in Stockholm, Sweden; his parents Endel and Irene Ilves were Estonian refugees. His maternal grandmother was Russian from Saint Petersburg. He grew up in the United States in Leonia, New Jersey, and graduated from Leonia High School in 1972 as valedictorian." New Jersey! Hmmm, that's rather close to Canada. It's possible that Gregor went to that high school. <br /><br />Did Gregor graduate high school around the same time as Ilves? <br /><br />Gregor has an actual Linkedin profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gregor-ehrlich-40892113<br />Gregor Ehrlich went to Vassar College in 1984 to 1990. So it's unlikely Gregor went to high school the same time as the Estonian President. <br /><br />But Gregor does have a Twitter account! https://twitter.com/GregorEhrlich He's following only three people, has 15 tweets, and only 423 followers. And just Howard also is on Twitter. 102 tweets, following 274, followers 841. <br /><br />So weird to hear Jonathan Goldstein read off ads in his podcast. The very first words you hear from Jonathan in this new podcast series is an ad for Mailchimp! <br /><br />There is an interview with Jonathan where he briefly touches on leaving the CBC and joining Giblet, I mean Gimlet. https://soundcloud.com/hearstartup/bonus-introducing-heavyweightMatt Maldrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12589044056172003151noreply@blogger.com
