Why is that funny? There are several podcasters I'd like to meet, notably
Bob Packett of www.historyaccordingtobob.com. How is it different from
meeting an author or cartoonist? What is Stahler's point?

It's a statement about the tech age we're living in now. For us old
fogies who were raised with dial telelphones and record albums, it's
quite funny.

Um, I was raised on dial phones and 78s. Maybe it's my science fiction
fandom, my science degree, or my job in IT, but the idea that things change
just doesn't shock me.

Heck, maybe it's my knowledge of history.

Note: mocking Stahler, not Paige.
