Hmmm …perhaps Clearleft were unconsciously influenced by Kent Web Host!
Just to set the record straight, I gave them a call.

We celebrated our one month anniversary a few days ago, so it seemed fitting to run with the very first episode that we produced back when we were kicking around ideas for getting the podcast off the ground. It’s a page out of Kevin’s research on the history of hacker culture, which turns to a meditation on the role of telephony and sound in our world. Enjoy!
Major Thanks…
