This morning, I woke up to a stunning report that Google is gearing up to sell a 100-year bond.That follows a similar move in early November, when Google issued a 50-year bond.Investors are giving this company billions and are willing to wait up to a century to get it back.

O’Shea breezily referenced talking about the state of new media with the TBPN bros in Peter Thiel’s house.But it’s O’Shea’s access to executives like these that keeps her audience coming back. The podcaster is deeply immersed in Silicon Valley culture, having several years of venture capital experience under her belt.”I am institutionally trained not to…
