Wow...seriously IMHO this is a new low...or should I say Jerry keeps on stooping to a new low every week thus far in his obvious vendetta against Pennisi. Reporting a story about the Pennisi sitdowns as if it were a new thing, this started a long time ago the prices for the sitdowns are posted pretty publicly if he cared (or even knew) how to make his way around Youtube, etc. Capeci obviously has his stories all queued up and holds things back and saves them for other weeks, either that or this guy is really late to the ballgame sort of speak in terms of reporting on this. Defense attorneys, etc are obviously needling him to report things/giving him ideas on Pennisi as a drip drip pieces, to get under Pennisi's skin (notice Pennisi has made his IG private) and who knows get him violated or some law enforcement folks to start asking questions whether it is warranted or not.
This is a really good point. Not that his column really needs to be a live, up-to-the-minute type of thing, because of the niche it serves... but still... I never really thought about that until you mentioned it: it really feels like he just has stories queued up on deck for weeks -> a month at a time, and if something big happens to go on between all of that, he can easily bounce a story off and replace it with something more breaking. Whatever, I'd probably do the same thing, can't fault him.
I'm happy GL still exists at the end of the day. But I think he's doing everybody a disservice when he simply recaps what was talked about or what happened on podcasts 2-3 weeks ago. A majority of his readers, besides a handful of Boomers or old timers, are probably listeners of those same very podcasts.
