1:40:00 I'm excited to have Matt Galligan on the program with a great product, Circa.

2:50:00 This show is brought to you by New Relic, a service a lot of us have been using around here.

6:15:00 Matt, welcome to the program.

6:40:00 You sold SimpleGeo to Airship, is that right?

7:10:00 What is SimpleGeo?

7:40:00 Then you started Circa?

8:50:00 Tell us, what is Circa?

10:30:00 Which current story has been the most successful in terms of engagement and tracking?

12:30:00 Do you think the traditional media is broken?

15:30:00 How should the media react to breaking news?

15:35:00 Matt: During the week of Boston Marathon, Circa never ran an inaccurary.

16:15:00 Speed is important, but not the end-all, be-all for Circa?

17:15:00 How do you cover long-term inaccuracies?

19:25:00 How important is design and structure to the news experience, today?

21:20:00 Will you eventually allow users to add comments? Or would that be problematic?

32:15:00 Should there be a disclosure for on-screen advertising?

36:00:00 What does mainstream media like NYT and CNN think of your product?

36:30:00 Matt: We're able to do something they're not able to do because they have legacy.

37:00:00 Are you doing original reporting?

38:00:00 Does the media feel like you're leveraging their product too much?

39:35:00 What do traditional reporters say when they approach you?

41:50:00 What do you think of blogs like Huffington Post?

44:05:00 Why does rewriting original content leave such a bad taste in people's mouths?

45:30:00 Do you think your serious tone is the opportunity? Or that Buzzfeed kittens are the opportunity?
