Throwback Tomorrow! The enigmatic and hilarious Paul Ford returns to Tomorrow to discuss his recent, critically acclaimed Businessweek story "What Is Code?" The two men actually manage to stay on topic for a little while, but the conversation soon devolves (evolves?) into a whirlwind discussion about commenters, Batman, and Nokia.

Josh Topolsky, CEO and editor in chief of The Outline, talks with Recode's Peter Kafka about the importance of good internet-native design for both advertising and editorial content. Topolsky dismisses the idea that everything publishers put out will move behind paywalls, arguing instead that when ads are well done, they can engage readers and support free content. Most of the time, though, online media companies have forced boring ads on their audiences, who have learned to ignore them. He also talks about his past life as a music producer, picking a fight with Mike Bloomberg, and what it's like to raise money when you have a reputation as someone who can be difficult to work with.

There are some things that never go out of style. Coca-Cola. Martinis. Denim. Ray-bans. Kylie Minogue. The Cruise missile.

Josh once again sits down with the inimitable Paul Ford to discuss the dumpster fire that was 2016. Honestly, if you go back and look at the description of last year's end-of-the-year special with Paul, you'll see that we called 2015 "one of the worst years on record" which, in light of the horrors of 2016, is hilarious. Although Donald Trump features heavily in both episodes. Anyway, they talk neo-Nazis, ice attacks, Twitter, voice-over acting, and of course: the Dipperz empire. We'll be back in full force for 2017 and then straight through to the inevitable apocalypse. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Hello there. It’s been a while. And in fact, it will be a little longer before the proper return of Tomorrow. But it’s so close you can taste it. So, so close. In the meantime, however, we wanted to stop by with a little update, because it’s a very exciting time. The Outline has arrived, and you can check it out right this very second! And since you’re a fan of listening to things, we thought we’d give you a preview of a brand new podcast from The Outline. It’s called Sound Show, and it’s about the things we hear, and how we hear them. And if you like this episode, there are more waiting for you: Sound Show Learn more about your ad choices.

Here we are at the end of the world with Emily Altman, a UCB comedian and Emmy-nominated writer for shows like Inside Amy Schumer, Difficult People, and The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. As Josh discovers, she's well prepared for Trump's America – thanks to years of violent video games. Also: they're both from Philadelphia, so American dystopias are in their wheelhouse.

This week Josh sits down with Katie Drummond, editor-in-cheif at Gizmodo and an all around swell person. As audio podcasts go, it's fantastic... but what if it were more than that? What if, through the power of virtual reality, you could hear them discuss Playstation, Ken Bone, and Soylent bars inside an active volcano, or under the ocean, or in whatever other scenario you can dream up? Soon enough you can, and it'll only cost you $1000. That is, if you can find Palmer Luckey.

This is a very special episode we have here, very special, everyone agrees. Josh, who's really quite a guy, sat down with the show's producer, great comedian and a huge writer, Ryan Houlihan – who's just one of the top people, just a top guy – to discuss last night's debate between Crooked Hillary and The King of Debt: Donald Trump. It's really extensive, totally, believe me. It's really amazing, really high quality and under budget. Just superb, a knockout. Really dig in and try and understand this, it's truly a great episode, honestly. We're not just bragging – people are talking about it, CNN's covered it. You'll check it out, you'll see.

Dear Reader, I write you from the future. A future where Episode 70 is hailed as a prescient and important document that refocused our society's priorities. Josh sat down with Adrianne Jeffries, a senior editor at The Outline and former editor and reporter for Motherboard and The Verge, and what happened changed history forever. Do you know how insignificant your silly phone updates are to us, your children's children's children? They aren't even a blip in our history books! You're impressed by Twitter and messaging stickers when somewhere in the world people are perfecting gene editing techniques? Preposterous!

Okay, this might sound insane but hear us out: Have you heard about Paul Ford? The reptilian overlord who carries out false flag operations against Hillary Clinton's body double?

Have you seen the musical Cats? Neither has Josh – but Aaron Edwards, a senior editor at The Outline, has a plan to ensure he enjoys every moment of those "jellicle cats." What kind of cat is a "jellicle cat," you ask? Well, first: A jellicle cat would listen to Josh and Aaron talk about their family histories. Second: A jellicle cat would never, ever rush through Frank Ocean's new album... it would know that it is to be savored. And third: A jellicle cat would be happy for the Rio Olympians, but would not sit down and watch a lot of the games. That's what a "pollicle dog" would do.

Gawker writer and member of the LIBERAL MEDIA Ashley Feinberg is here to tell Josh all about the stories she's twisted about me, Donald Trump. Pathetic! She thinks she has some hilarious insights into my personality because of some anecdotes about my fear of needles and lies about the state of my hair? Sad! I've got the best hair, ask my friends – of all races! I've been pulling in RECORD RATINGS – everybody agrees, believe me – meanwhile she's spouting off about Ted Cruz's soup collection and Jeb Bush's weird clothing? As if! Really nasty stuff, truly.

As you might have heard, Josh has some news for us about his latest project, The Outline. Which is cool and probably going to change the worlds of publishing and news media... but before we get to that, he lets Ryan distract him with talk about P90X, Donald Trump, bagels, and cross-dressing French princes. Josh is really excited to share his new vision with you listeners but apparently Ryan really needs to talk about HitClips and complain about his father's Instagram presence – so we're just gonna get that out of the way. To hear about the current state of Josh's life's work check out episode 64. But first: Did you know Ryan had Splenda ice cream for breakfast? It was gross! Learn more about your ad choices.

(Tomorrow News) – Unnamed sources in New York tell us that JOSHUA TOPOLSKY and CNN political commentator and writer SALLY KOHN sat down to discuss the horrible events this week. Reports are coming in that they attempt to grapple with the political and social realities America is facing, reflect on the issues the white community needs to own up to, and try and sort out exactly who's facing the worst abuse on Twitter. Though there's no way they could solve any of this themselves, we're hearing that they came to some pretty enlightening conclusions and simply hope to have started a dialogue on where we need to go.

The podcast is coming from inside the smartphone – and it's a ghost. Or a zombie. Or an alien. Or... oh, it doesn't matter. As Josh and comedian/writer Halle Kiefer discover this episode: Only John Carpenter makes a solid horror movie. They also touch on TV set in Los Angeles, explore the Lifetime film canon, and diminish the importance of Improv as an art form. Before the show's over, you'll know quite a bit about about how to impersonate Aziz Ansari, how to steal Jennie Garth's hair, and, of course, how to fake your way into a consulting job.

Oh Britain, what have you done? No, seriously, what have you done...? Because not only does this "Brexit" stuff not make any political sense, but your friends across the pond are still a bit fuzzy on the details. To get to the bottom of all this, Josh enlisted Felix Salmon, one of the UK's finest, host of Slate's Money podcast, and a Senior Editor at Fusion, to explain all of this to us as best he can. Why would anyone do this? Why was any of this even on the table? Is this whole thing legally binding? Will Scotland and Northern Ireland leave the UK in the dust? Can Americans finally feel superior to the Brits for the first time in decades? In Episode 59, Felix helps us find as many answers as any person can on this sloppy, sloppy planet.

This episode is an (allegedly) amazing discussion between Josh and associate editor at Vulture E. Alex Jung. It's (reportedly) all about representation in media – or the lack thereof. They (may or may not) talk about where you can find asian people on TV, why more and more online publications are scared to publish controversial opinions, and America's festering prejudices. (We cannot confirm or deny that) they diddle around topics like who in Hollywood might be using their powers for evil, or how exactly those people could silence their critics. Legally speaking, there's no way to know if any of this is true or not without listening to Episode 57 yourself. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

It's the year 2019... Josh: Can you play Tomorrow, episode 54? It's one of my favorites. A jam session with our old pal Paul Miller! Bot: Did you mean "Bowl Fillers"? Josh: No, bot! I said we did a podcast with a former editor from The Verge, who's now one of the top commanders in the Pennsylvania Freemen Army. We discussed some old Google news, bots (like you), the value of what we used to think of as "the government," and more! Bot: Googling new True Value stores near the government that sell doors. Josh: I can't believe we still haven't figured out bots or voice recognition in 2019... even after President Trump created those information worker reassignment camps.

Hey guys, just posting a quick update here to my profile. We recorded this incredible episode with Gizmodo's technology editor Michael Nuñez, who recently broke one of the year's biggest tech stories.

This week Josh sits down with the inimitable Bobby Finger, staff writer at Jezebel and co-host of the fabulously popular new podcast Who? Weekly. Sources close to Tomorrow are reporting that the two were overheard discussing the nature of being a D-list Hollywood celebrity, if Bobby is a real nerd, and who exactly Olivia Culpo is. A Finger confidant claims the conversation was an innocent exchange. "Bobby just thinks Josh is a great guy, and he loves the show," says the Finger insider. A Topolsky pal tells a different story. "The two of them were at each other's throats during the taping. It got nasty." Regardless, the two are staying mum publicly about what really went down.

On this episode of Tomorrow, Josh sits down with bestselling author, TV personality, journalist, and editor John Heilemann, and the pair attempt to find out just why exactly America is the way she is.

This week Josh sits down with Paula Deen's best friend: GQ writer / editor Caity Weaver. She's met some of the biggest stars in the world — her most recent conquest is Justin Bieber – so why hasn't she ever seen the classic Hugh Grant film Notting Hill?

The two get to the bottom of these pressing issues... just in time for Josh learn about all 100 versions The Real Housewives.

Finally an update on the Dipperz empire with co-owner and podcast guest Paul Ford. Josh also learns about the deep sea work of the Octonauts, the number of Ponderosa Steakhouses left in America, and what excites the staff of NPR (hint, contrary to popular belief, it’s not Malcolm Gladwell). Whatever happened to the real-life Colonel Sanders? Who is Booba, where does he come from, and what does he want from us? On this episode, we get closer to answering these questions than any podcast has before, mostly because they didn’t ask them.

On today's Tomorrow, Josh ponders the meaning of his $1000 deposit on the Tesla Model 3. Did he make a wise investment? Is Elon Musk's super (and super affordable) dream machine all that it appears? Is the electric car revolution just beginning? And most importantly, how long will it take Josh to actually get his car? Friend of the show / Bloomberg Digital Managing Editor Michael Shane stops by to help Josh answer these questions, and many many more. Some example topics: Is virtual reality stuck at the Palm Treo stage? Does 'Batman v Superman' signal the end of comic book movies? And will Josh hold a grudge against someone? All these questions and more are not answered in any meaningful way. But you have to listen. Because the power of Christ compels you. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The future of media. What is it? What does it look like? Are we living in it? Is it yet to come? Is it something you want? Is it something you need? Is it something we should fear? Is it something we should embrace? None of these questions can be answered, but Josh and his brilliant guest Alexander Klöpping — the CEO and founder of news-reading experience Blendle — make a valiant attempt. Along the way they also tackle Holland facts, terrorism, CDs, Gabber music, and the tyranny of podcast apps. If you miss this episode, everything they said about you will turn out to be true.

While the two do spend some quality time hashing through what it's like to be part of one of the most controversial companies in media (and wildly misjudging how the jury would rule in the case), they also delve into other areas of import.

After a great betrayal by former Tomorrow producer Magnus — who is from Sweden (and still produces the podcast) — Josh invites his internet-famous sister-in-law Katie Notopolous to the studio to try and make sense of his shattered life. Since she's one of the most irreverent and inventive BuzzFeed editors, there's no shortage of material. Some of the topics include a deep-dive on Katie's “50 Worst Things On The Internet In 2015” list, how she made friends during a stint on a grand jury, and why unfollowing men on Twitter is such an important statement.

Currently working on a couple of small titles like Chewbacca, Deadpool, and the Uncanny Avengers, writer Gerry Duggan gives Josh a front row view into the inner workings of the comic book world.

You'll learn about what it's like to write for P. Diddy at an awards show, how wandering the streets of LA can land you a dream job, and what Gerry and Josh think of the upcoming presidential election (SPOILER ALERT BERNIE SANDERS BECOMES SUPER GOD OF THE MARVEL UNIVERSE).

Following a discussion about fatherhood — which includes insight into a unique weight loss method and theories on how to turn your child into a video game master — some serious shop talk goes down when Chris Grant joins the pantheon of Tomorrow podcast guests. As editor-in-chief of the gaming publication Polygon, few people know the video game industry as well as Chris. The two men try to get to the bottom of what sets gaming apart from all other forms of pop culture, why Gamergate happened (and what it means), the future of VR, benefits of gaming tourism, and much much more.

There will not be a new Tomorrow episode this week. The reason? Thanksgiving. Like all Americans, including the great Donald Trump, Josh is taking time to be with his family and reflect on the many wonderful things he has been so lucky to receive in his life. Like his bow and arrow set, that small hat he wears only on Wednesdays, and a lifetime "all you can eat" card from Dairy Queen. This week off will also allow Josh time to recharge his batteries, both the ones he uses in his pacemaker, as well as the metaphorical batteries which power his soul. Or whatever is powering Josh, because he still doesn't believe in souls even after watching "The Exorcism of Emily Rose" twice in the theater. But you get the point. We'll be back with more new Tomorrow next week. In the meantime, why not take a load off and Whip The Dip™ with your whole family? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Sam Biddle – senior writer at Gawker and all around bon vivant – is a man who knows how to attract controversy. He sits down with Josh in a bedroom of a strange and possibly haunted mansion in upstate New York to discuss the thankless work of covering the dark side of Silicon Valley startups, the increasing toxicity of the internet, the mysterious appeal of Fallout 4, and the difference between Breitbart and Stormfront (spoiler: not much). Along the way Sam and Josh find a friendship that will last a lifetime, or at least until Sam puts Josh in the spotlight for being a snake oil salesman who's too busy getting high on his own supply to see the damage he's doing to the crafting industry.

Josh and internet powerhouse Anil Dash sat down for a nearly two-hour interview, covering a myriad of thrilling topics. Diversity in tech, British imperialism through the lens of The Beatles, and what "Happy Days" was really about are just a small taste of topics covered in the show. Even more shocking?
