... that a host of the Longform.org podcast once interviewed a writer while accidentally high on edibles? Source: "And the one, of course, where Max was accidentally high on edibles." "The Longform Episodes We Won’t Forget", Vulture
- ALT1: ... that Longform.org got referrals from the dating website OkCupid? Source: "The editors of longform.org get classic referrals from the dating site OkCupid, meaning that people are listing their love of the site on their profiles." "Short and shallow reading on the Internet? Not so fast", PBS News Hour

- Comment: I included both hooks for a second opinion, but my inclination is that ALT0 is stronger. If you want to verify directly from the podcast episode, the revelation begins around 36:30.

QPQ: Done.

Overall: The article is solid and well-sourced, although I have some doubts about the verifiability of the entire list of episodes. I believe it would be beneficial to include a source, at least a primary one. Spotchecked sources 3 and 8 and found no issues. I agree that ALT0 is the more interesting hook and I am approving it. Earwig shows no copyvio. QPQ done. Good to go! —Prince of Erebor（The Book of Mazarbul） 18:18, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
