PODCAST: When the lights go out, and a puppy surprise brought to you by Jell-O
We’ll bet that if you have a conversation about the Superbowl this morning, it won’t be about the Ravens or the commercials you saw. It’ll be about the fact that the power went out right in the middle of TV’s biggest night. But could that dark moment in football history turn out to be a bright spot for social media?
