How do you when your podcast co-host sponsors the same English soccer team as you? What about when your comedian friend gets her own TV show and major movie deals? The intersection of competition and cooperation are just the beginning of today’s engaging conversation between our hosts and guest Marina Franklin.

How many selfies do you take with your friends before settling on one that’s “social media worthy”? Our guest co-host Marina Franklin thinks whatever the number is, it’s a lot higher than what it used to be, and it’s because our global level of self-consciousness is rising rapidly. Listen on as Marina, James, and Stephen discuss the difference in perception between looking in a mirror and at your smartphone screen, and why Stephen’s happy to have the “Freakonomics apple” as his online avatar.

You’re in the middle of a stand-up comedy set – maybe your second or third that night – when your act is suddenly derailed by an audience member who is completely uninterested in the performance. That’s what happened to our guest co-host of the next four episodes, Marina Franklin, before she came in to record with James and Stephen. Today we discuss why one person’s negative opinion can dwell in the mind of a performer, even when they’re vastly outnumbered by the opposite opinion.
