Shows #39 and #40 — Jennifer Granick and Brad Stone, and Michael Shanks, respectively — posted

I am in move mode, as in moving out, so it’s been slow going getting the shows up. But, I’m now pleased to post Show #39, my interview with Brad Stone of The New York Times and return guest Jennifer Granick of CIS on the state of tech, and Show #40, my interview with Prof. Michael Shanks of Stanford, and Director of the Metamedia Lab.

In my interview with Jennifer and Brad, we have a wide-ranging and fun discussion about their visit to Japan and their view of robotics, as well as tech journalism. This was my first attempt at a three-person discussion, but it went very well. Jennifer and Brad were great guests and I look forward to having them back on the show.

Prof. Shanks was an interesting interview of a different sort. My first archaeologist for the show, his perspective on the intersection of tech and archaeology are unique, and in the discussion we run through a number of these parallels. We’d need a lot more time to probe the implication of Shanks’ insights, but this is a good overview.

Finally, I’d add one note — the show has passed its one year anniversary! Thanks for listening — I never imagined that the show would be as successful as its been. As always, there’s plenty of room for improvement, so please email me at dave@hearsayculture.com with any suggestions, thoughts, ruminations, etc. Your input is highly valued . . .

UPDATE June 28: the link for Show #39 has been corrected. Thanks, Warwick, for the pointer.
