Tim Miller

Hello, and welcome to the Bullard Podcast.

I'm your host, Tim Miller.

A quick correction on yesterday's show, we received many notes that a 55-year-old is not, in fact, a boomer.

And while that is technically true, colloquially on this podcast, anyone who's a single day older than me is actually a boomer.

And so it's not Gen X erasure.

It is just more about my Peter Pan syndrome.

I'm delighted to welcome to the show today one of our faves, longtime tech and culture and political writer for The Atlantic, but now he's got his own sub-stack.

He also has a plain English podcast.

His books include Hitmakers and another one that didn't get much attention called Abundance, which he co-wrote with Ezra Klein.

It's Derek Thompson.

What's up?

Hey, how's it going, man?

Am I older than you?

Am I a boomer?

No.

Okay, good.

No, we're just, we're millennials.

Okay, it's fine.

I think so.

We're dealing with the linear nature of time differently in different ways, but we're just doing our best to survive it.
