0.12: You’ll Never Guess What the Hosts Say in This Podcast!
Show Notes
In which we talk about headline-writing in general, click-bait headlines in particular, and why we don’t think that click-bait headlines are a “best practice”—or really a good thing at all. How these realities shape all sorts of discourse, not just headline-writing, including political stances.
