Catch Up On The Techdirt Podcast Before It Returns In January
from the five-and-counting dept
If you haven't heard all the episodes of the recently-launched Techdirt Podcast, now's the time to catch up. You can listen to all five episodes below, visit us on Soundcloud, subscribe via iTunes, or grab the RSS feed.
If you're new to the podcast and wondering where to start, here's a brief episode guide:
- Can You Increase Privacy By Increasing Surveillance? — A discussion about a seemingly paradoxical, but potentially effective, solution to privacy problems: more surveillance.
- Privacy And User Control, With Brad Burnham — Mike Masnick interviews Brad Burnham of Union Square Ventures on an overlapping approach to prviacy: a focus on user control.
- Amanda Palmer And The Art Of Asking — Amanda Palmer, the musician who's always making waves with both her artistic and business experiments, drops by to discuss her new book.
- In Defense Of Advertising — File this one under "unpopular opinions." This episode makes the case that advertising can be a good thing that benefits everyone, if it's done right.
- The Internet From Space! — A look at the potential for (and the potential consequences of) broadband access delivered by satellites, balloons, offshore platforms and other hard-to-control networks.
The Techdirt Podcast will return in January with a discussion about technology education and coding in schools.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
