Waters Wavelength Podcast Episode 15: Consolidated Audit Trail

Dan starts the show off by himself talking about the SEC's decision to publish the CAT NMS plan for public comment (:53) and what that means for the overall timeline of the massive database. He then briefly touches on a story idea he has around user experience (10:10) before calling Anthony (11:04), who is on vacation. The two chat about what Anthony's missed while away from the office (13:40) and his thoughts on Tom Brady's four-game suspension being overturned on appeal (20:00). Dan then wraps things up talking about the absurdity of the NFL Draft (25:47) and why HBO's "Silicon Valley" is so awesome (29:50).
