HooperCast Episode 37: Paparazzi, Technology, and Dumb People

Sup? I'm a douche......
Ian Weaver joins me for a road trip so naturally, we had to podcast along the way.
We talk about a myriad of topics including paparazzi, the evolution of home media, technology, books, research papers, and creating languages.
