EP 04 · Transmission
Unlimited TV!
Show notes
I had two DVR boxes and every channel unlimited, for about thirty dollars a month a customer would've paid three hundred for. I learned the difference between having everything and having enough. Turns out I was scrolling before anybody called it that. We just called it channel surfing.

Seg 01 · The perk
The kind of package the most expensive paying customer in the city didn't have.
Seg 02 · Being the guy
They came to me for cable. The favors were easy to say yes to.
Seg 03 · Still not enough
Some nights, anything still wasn't enough.
Seg 04 · Learning to leave
We called it channel surfing. That may have been my first lesson in scrolling.
Seg 05 · The choice
Cable gave you a remote. The feed studies your thumb.
Seg 06 · The landing · Station ID
What will our kids call it, watching us change channels without touching the remote.
