b"Dan Taberski is the host of Missing Richard Simmons and Surviving Y2K.\\n\\n\\u201cWhy would you walk into podcasting, where not a lot of rules have been written yet, why would walk into that space and be like, I'm just going to stick to the rules over here. It doesn't make any sense. ... Sourcing, respect for privacy \\u2014\\xa0all these rules are here for a reason. And there's a line you shouldn't cross. But I don't see the point of not walking up to that line and looking over it. Because that is where interesting stuff is happening. ... To be able to earn that ability to cross the line a little bit and then jump back to where you belong, I think that's where beautiful storytelling happens.\\u201d\\n\\n\\n\\nThanks to MailChimp and Pitt Writers for sponsoring this bonus episode.\\n@dtaberski\\n\\n\\nMissing Richard Simmons\\n\\n\\nSurviving Y2K\\n\\n\\n[21:30] \\u201c\\u2018Missing Richard Simmons\\u2019 and the Queasiness of Deep-Dive Entertainment Journalism\\u201d (Sarah Larson \\u2022 New Yorker \\u2022 Mar 2017)\\n\\n\\n[21:40] Richard Simmons\\u2019s Disappearing Act Inspires a Hit Podcast (Sopan Deb \\u2022 New York Times \\u2022 Mar 2017)\\n\\n\\n[21:40] \\u201c\\u2018Missing Richard Simmons,\\u2019 the Morally Suspect Podcast\\u201d (Amanda Hess \\u2022 New York Times \\u2022 Mar 2017)\\n\\n\\n[34:00] S-Town\\n\\n\\n[46:15] Longform Podcast #44: Gay Talese\\n\\n\\n[46:15] Longform Podcast #226: Terry Gross\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
