Last week, Bob spoke with former Onion headline writer Joe Garden about the phenomenon of real headlines that sound like Onion headlines. In the interview, Bob asked you all to send us some you find in the media wild. We've gotten some great entries. Entries like these:

London 2012: China has no interest in it and that gives us a chance - (via Cameron McKay)

On Tuesday, Tech President’s Micah L. Sifry observed that in the lead-up to the 2008 picks for vice presidential nominees, the best predictor wasn’t a pundit or a poll, but the number of recent edits on that contender’s Wikipedia page.

Yesterday and today, OTM's very own Brooke Gladstone filled in for WNYC's Brian Lehrer, the mid-morning talk show heard on WNYC and around the country on Sirius radio.

In the fun house mirror of pop culture, public access television’s image has warped from high-minded community journalism to Wayne’s World-style parody. But in the 1970s, it was the social media of its time, empowering a generation of citizen reporters.

George Stoney was a major figure in those early days of public access. A documentary filmmaker, he is often credited as the father of the public access television movement, and envisioned public access to the airwaves as one small step towards public action in society. Stoney died July 12 at 96.

London 2012 Olympics’ new sponsorship protection rules are some of the strictest yet, but they’re also a bit complicated.  It’s no surprise that there’s been more than a little confusion as monitors, enforcers, businesses and fans try to decipher what will and won’t be allowed.

This week on the show we’re airing two stories about the role of super PACs in politics.  And one can scarcely talk about super PACS without mentioning Citizens United.  And talking about Citizens United tends to spark outrage: corporations aren't people and money isn't speech.

On the show this week Bob talks with Slate contributor Jim Pagels about the good and bad of binge-watching TV. As you'll hear in the show, Bob just ripped off 33 episodes of Breaking Bad in three days. Just some back-of-the-envelope math here – that’s 1551 minutes of watching Breaking Bad and away from his family and professional responsibilities.

It’s not news that a number of people claim to have been sidelined, short shrifted, or outright robbed by Mark Zuckerberg.  “The Social Network” actually made the plight of Facebook’s discontents an inseparable part of Facebook’s creation myth. Aaron Greenspan is not part of the Facebook origin story, but, he insists he should be. In 2011, Greenspan sued Columbia Pictures, the studio behind “The Social Network,” Benjamin Mezrich, whose book The Accidental Billionaires was the basis for the film, and Random House, which published the book.

When he's not producing the Brian Lehrer Show (and occasionally helping out OTM), WNYC's Jody Avirgan hosts the live event series Ask Roulette, in which strangers ask each other questions live on stage. Audience members come on stage to answer a question from a stranger, then get to ask a stranger their question. It's a mix of story-telling, comedy, and conversation. It's also a podcast. Our own Brooke Gladstone was a recent special guest, take a listen to the audio of her and Esquire's AJ Jacobs below. 

You can subscribe to the Ask Roulette podcast on iTunes. The next live show is August 8th in Manhattan (with Radiolab's Robert Krulwich), more information on the Ask Roulette website.
