Agent Palmer

When I’m doing research or writing post drafts “old school” with pen and paper, I listen to vinyl records on a turntable in the basement of my house.

I don’t exclusively listen to vinyl, mind you. It’s just something different. I also don’t consider myself a hipster, either. So I wonder from time to time, not only why I do it, but why there is a cult-like movement that occurred to bring it back?

It has launched! The mobile version of AgentPalmer.com is now live and ready for your smartphone, so you can geek on the go! (You may already know this if you’re viewing this on your phone.)

Of course, it is paired down a bit as far as the wonderful design, that Ryan Lynn created for the desktop version. But all the goodness of the geeky content is more easily accessible from your phone. It’s more geek than your pocket can handle, or maybe just enough.

Wikipedia defines “Podcast” as a “digital medium that consists of a episodic series of audio, video, digital radio, PDF, or ePub files subscribed to and downloaded through web syndication or streamed on-line to a computer or mobile device.” Merriam-Webster defines “Podcast” as “a program (as of music or talk) made available in digital format for automatic download over the Internet.”

Meanwhile, I define it in the simplest terms as an “on-demand radio program.”

From the Chairman of the Board, Frank Sinatra, singing “Fly Me to the Moon” over the opening credits to the Board of Teldar Paper at the annual stockholders meeting where “Greed is right,” and from the showdown in Central Park to the battle of father versus mentor and the morality of Lou, it all adds up to Wall Street, a film that will always be relevant so long as there is either a stock market or someone looking to make a quick buck.

And, no, the two are not mutually exclusive.
