How to get enough protein — without going overboard

washingtonpost.com/podcasts/post-reports/how-to-get-enough-protein--without-going-overboard/?tid=aud_rsslink&utm_source=podcasts&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=post-reports

These days, just about any food you could possibly imagine now has “added” protein. There’s protein popcorn, protein muffins and even protein water. But where did this obsession with protein begin? And how much should we really be eating on a daily basis? Host Colby Itkowitz speaks with Washington Post health columnist Anahad O’Connor about this latest nutrition craze and best practices for eating a balanced diet.

Today’s show was produced by Laura Benshoff. It was mixed by Sam Bair, and edited by Ariel Plotnick. Thanks to editor Emily Codik.

Survey results

Last week I posted a short survey to get some feedback on what features people are using in Micro.blog. The response was great. I’m reading through the freeform answers and they’re especially helpful. I also wanted to hear opinions about the new Movies feature we recently added on the web, and better understand how people might use better video upload support. Here are charts from a few questions. Where should the new Movies page go in the apps? Do you want to post your own videos to your blog? If you post video, how long will most clips be?
