Listen "A podcast about PDFs? In this economy?"
Episode Synopsis
How do you think about PDF documents? Many people talk about PDF as "old" or

now, when so many other technologies seem more exciting, relevant, or important?
Before we get started in exploring the dark forest that is PDF, this first post
is meant to unpack some answers to those _whys_.
