Podcast: David Post on the state of the internet

I think I may have mentioned this here before, but I have a weekly podcast. Each week I interview a thinker, author, or doer in the internet policy space. I’m going to start posting them here for your amusement, though if you like them you should subscribe in iTunes.

This week we have Prof. David G. Post on what Jefferson can teach us about the internet. Last week we had a great chat with Tyler Cowen (sorry about the so-so audio quality on that one). Check out the whole archive here.

Dear Internet: Enough with the carrot dicks. Thanks.

When someone demands to know how we are going to replace newspapers, they are really demanding to be told that we are not living through a revolution. They are demanding to be told that old systems won’t break before new systems are in place. They are demanding to be told that ancient social bargains aren’t in peril, that core institutions will be spared, that new methods of spreading information will improve previous practice rather than upending it. They are demanding to be lied to.
