Thanks for the heads up @Shane

Just listened in, it's a really good example of how much the mainstream media and the average person in the street understands about domains

Kanye is a gift who just keeps on giving.

That's not the same piece from Hack, but same initial subject and reporter. I haven't been able to find the piece from Hack online.

That one is very interesting too though! Thanks for sharing that one.

Yeah strange, it sounds like parts of it was played last nigh (Kanye and the Stock Photo guy).

It was hard to hear where I was, but I thought they had someone from "whois" (https://www.whois.com.au maybe?) who was interviewed.

It looks like the recording should be here, but it's throwing a 404:

It's not working for me in the player or download, it might come online later.

Seems like this may be a related print version - must be a slow news day

...some insightful commentary; "Much like in real estate, domain squatters buy up lucrative URLs and wait for the right buyer, while brokers help internet businesses negotiate to secure their dream name."
