Ask Roger Hodge: "Is the Post Office Going to Follow the Way of Magazines"?
Obviously I did not watch this entire 35-minute Q&A; with-or the full 25-minute talk by-unemployed non-former Conde Nast (former non-Conde Nast, I mean) magazine editor Roger Hodge, but I did start them both! (The next question from the Q&A;, after the one about the mail, involves the SOCIAL NETWORKS.) The Q&A;, obviously, followed Hodge’s talk at Duke, which was titled “My Rise and Fall,” but only on accident, as Hodge said he actually wanted the talk to be called “Decline and Fall,” which he attributes to the title of a book about the Saturday Evening Post (Otto Friedrich, 1970), but perhaps you know it from elsewhere? Anyway, it happened right after Hodge left Harper’s and Hodge also makes fun of the coming singularity, which, NOT COOL MAN. No one makes fun of the singularity.
