In the latest edition of the DoubleX Gabfest, Emily Bazelon, Hanna Rosin, and Slate's Jack Shafer talk about the balloon boy hoax, Meghan McCain's Twitter photo, and Where the Wild Things Are.

Listen to the podcast here, or through iTunes. You can also become a fan of the DoubleX Gabfest on Facebook to discuss the show, and subscribe to the DoubleX Gabfest RSS feed. Emily suggests that you visit our sponsor, Audible.com, where you get a free book download when you sign up. Hanna's picks for what to download: The Penderwicks, or The Penderwicks on Gardam Street.

This week over coffee, Hanna's going to be talking about Barbara Ehrenreich's book Bright-Sided, which we reviewed on DoubleX last week. Emily will be talking about Hanna and Jessica Grose's non-complaining project. And Jack will be discussing Ken Auletta's Googled, the must-read book about everyone's favorite search engine.
