This American Life host Ira Glass was never into William Burroughs. Didn’t get why people love his writing so much. Then he heard this radio story that changed all that, partly because it wasn’t very reverential about Burroughs. For Burroughs 101st birthday, we hear that story.

Our second hour of stories about policing and race. We hear about one city where relations between police and black residents went terribly, and another city where they seem to be improving remarkably.

There are so many cops who look at the killing of Eric Garner or Mike Brown and say race didn’t play a factor. And there are tons of black people who say that’s insane. There’s a division between people who distrust the police — even fear them — and people who see cops as a force for good.

TOPIC: Learning to treat your work as a platform.
In this episode, Adam talks with Sean Devine, host of the Ruby on Rails podcast. Sean gives Adam an introduction to building applications with Ember, and how it’s different than the way you might sprinkle AngularJS into a mostly server-side app. They talk about why your Ember apps shouldn’t be mixed in with your server-side code, and the advantages that come along with building a server-side API with no front end of it’s own.
Hongli Lai is one of the co-founders of Phusion. His company recently got a lot of attention for their upcoming version of Phusion Passenger, which they decided to call Ruby Raptor in a clever marketing play to get people excited about Passenger again. It worked, and we invited Hongli on the show to talk about Passenger/Ruby Raptor,
the challenges of marketing open source, how to get the internet excited about your next version, and so much more.
A lot of people say, “Hey, if you’re open source, and you want to make money, try selling support.” We tried doing that, but it didn’t work at all, because Passenger is too good. – Hongli Lai – 12:10

This week, we have members from .NET core team at Microsoft on the show to discuss Microsoft’s motivation for open sourcing the base class libraries of .NET, open source vs source open, the true goal of open sourcing .NET Core, and more.
“As far as open source goes, one of the key things that we need to focus on is being able to not just release source, but also take contributions back.” –
