The Hack and the Flack

The Major League Screwups

Gelf's podcasters rain on the Phillies' parade.

Michael Myser and Merrill Freund

In Gelf Magazine's weekly podcast, The Hack and The Flack, journalist Michael Myser—the hack—and PR guru Merrill Freund—the flack—break down the news of the week. From their different perspectives, Michael and Merrill discuss sports, tech, and media—much like Gelf.

In this week's episode, Michael and Merrill ask if every World Series game should last three and a half innings, score the Obama infomercial, draw the line on tasteless PR pitches, and lament the continuing cutbacks in business journalism. That's all in this week’s Gelf Magazine podcast.
