And try to be compassionate. I think it\\u2019s really hard to be on the internet. This is an internet company, in a lot of ways. We have a documentary coming out that\\u2019s going to be on linear television that\\u2019s really exciting. Maybe we\\u2019ll have more of those. But for the moment, podcast, writing, video: it\\u2019s internet. [The internet] is an unmediated space of angst and meanness and a willingness to tell people when they\\u2019re bad, even when they\\u2019ve worked hard on something. That\\u2019s like the number one anxiety that I feel like we\\u2019re dealing with on a day-to-day basis with everybody, myself included."\\n\\nThanks to MailChimp, Mubi, and "Dear Franklin Jones" for sponsoring this week\'s episode.\\n@SeanFennessey\\nFennessey on Longform\\n[01:45] On Air Fest 2018\\n[02:20] The Big Picture\\n[02:40] Fennessey\\u2019s Archive at The Ringer\\n[03:10] The Bill Simmons Podcast\\n[03:45] Longform Podcast #62: Malcolm Gladwell, Longform Podcast #204: Malcolm Gladwell\\n[05:50] Longform Podcast #196: John Favreau\\n[10:15] "An Oral History of Michael Bay, the Most Explosive Director of All Time" (GQ \\u2022 June 2011)\\n[12:05] Fennessey\\u2019s Archive at Pitchfork\\n[13:50] Chauncey Billups\\n[14:30] "Don\'t Front on Kanye" (Complex Magazine \\u2022 Aug 2005)\\n[14:30] "The Business of Carmelo Anthony: How Baltimore\'s Finest Plans to Take Over the World" (Complex Magazine \\u2022 June 2005)\\n[17:40] Longform Podcast #66: Andy Ward\\n[23:00] Longform Podcast #268: Jim Nelson\\n[23:55] Longform Podcast #257: Jay Caspian Kang\\n[26:50] "Derek Jeter\\u2019s Diary" (Mark Lisanti \\u2022 Grantland)\\n[27:50] Longform Podcast #44: Jonathan Abrams\\n[37:00] "How LeBron Can Finish His Fairy Tale Better Than MJ" (Bill Simmons \\u2022 The Ringer \\u2022 Feb 2018)\\n[40:45] "Yance Ford Made \\u2018Strong Island\\u2019 to Face Down the Past" (The Big Picture \\u2022 Feb 2018)\\n[41:10] "Greta Gerwig on \\u2018Lady Bird,\\u2019 One of the Year\\u2019s Best Movies" (The Big Picture \\u2022 Nov 2017)\\n[47:42] Longform Podcast #183: Jia Tolentino\\n[48:00] "Calm, Well-Adjusted Nation\\u2019s Reading Comprehension Hits 100 Percent" (Rob Harvilla \\u2022 The Ringer \\u2022 Oct 2016)\\n[64:00] "If You Want to Have a Staring Contest With the Oscars, You Will Lose: On a Historic Set of Nominations" (The Ringer \\u2022 Jan 2018)\\n\\n\\xa0\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
