From the brilliant minds at MIT.

I had the good fortune of contributing on NewsGang with Steve Gillmor.   I’ll embed the link if you’d like to have a listen.

Steve has been doing an excellent show every day on a diverse number of topics.  I highly recommend following both the podcast/live shows as well as using newsgang.net to follow what is currently being said across the net.
