01-FringeReligion | |
In this, the premier episode of "Information Underground," DeepGeek, | |
Klaatu, and lostnbronx discuss "fringe religions." What are they? Are | |
they real, or merely jokes? | |
02-Pwnership | |
Klaatu talks about the concept of ownership, and then Deepgeek, | |
Lostnbronx, and Klaatu discuss. | |
03-Bollywood | |
In Episode 3 of "Information Underground", Deepgeek, Klaatu, and | |
lostnbronx discuss the Bollywood phenomenon, and in so doing, get to the | |
heart of what exactly "good movies" really are. | |
04-Censorship | |
Episode 04 of information underground. The guys discuss censorship on | |
the interweb, and how to avoid it. Hear a range of ideas from the | |
mundane of mirroring through shell corporations in states with weird | |
laws. | |
05-Identity | |
Deepgeek, Klaatu, and lostnbronx discuss the nature of online vs. real | |
world identity. Who are we all, really, under our various screen names | |
and avatars? Are we "us", or are we something else? For that matter, | |
is there even a difference anymore? | |
06-Trek | |
Klaatu talks about Star Trek and what really makes it great, and then | |
Lostnbronx, Deepgeek, and Klaatu discuss Trek and Science Fiction | |
in general. | |
07-ourOwnCloud | |
In this episode, the Information Underground gang floats off on their own | |
cloud, far away from the world. The End. (Or is it...?) | |
08-Sex-Drugs-and-Rock-n-Roll | |
(First presented on Hacker Public Radio.) Deepgeek, Klaatu, and Lostnbronx | |
look back at the flappers and speakeasies of the 1920s and 30s, and attempt | |
to draw a line from the newly independent women of that era, up through the | |
Playboy Bunnies of the 1950s, all the way to today. Are things better or | |
worse? Is what we "know" about history really important? And do the Info- | |
Underground boys have any clue what they're even talking about? | |
09-Backwards-Capitalism | |
(First presented on Hacker Public Radio.) The Info-Underground guys consider | |
why capitalism does (or maybe doesn't) work, why people use it as a tool for | |
a better life (or maybe don't), and what the source of ambition, commercial | |
aspiration, and greed truly is (or maybe isn't). | |
10-Local-Control | |
(First presented on Hacker Public Radio.) Deepgeek, Klaatu, and Lostnbronx | |
discuss communities, real and virtual, and get to the heart (or not) of | |
the confluent issues surrounding modern confusion, apathy and despair with | |
their leadership. | |
11-Co-Op-Paradise | |
(First presented on Hacker Public Radio.) Deepgeek, Klaatu, and Lostnbronx | |
discuss their long-running server co-operative, including the triumphs and | |
challenges over the years, personal benefits, and why listeners might want | |
to create such a thing themselves. | |
12-State-of-Independence | |
(First presented on Hacker Public Radio.) Deepgeek, Lostnbronx, and Klaatu | |
talk about the state of independent art. Going it alone has always been | |
difficult, but is it easier now to live the creative life, or is it only | |
getting worse? | |
13-21st-Century-Superstar | |
(First presented on Hacker Public Radio.) Deepgeek, Lostnbronx, and Klaatu | |
talk about cultural iconography. In a fast-paced era of influencers and | |
niche content, how much commonality do we still have? Are universal | |
cultural touchstones even a requirement of civilization anymore? | |
14-Working-Out | |
(First presented on Hacker Public Radio.) Deepgeek, Lostnbronx, and Klaatu | |
talk about exercise. We ain't gettin' any younger, that's for sure! | |
