Jive Talking — episode 25.5 update

After 25 episodes, I have a five-minute update on progress and plans. Please give me suggestions on how to improve 🙂

Oh, and this is pretty interesting:

Instead of emotion or camaraderie, what podcasts produce is chumminess — reminiscent of the bourgeois club atmosphere, reconfigured as the desperate friendliness of burned-out knowledge workers. They aren’t pieces of media so much as second jobs or second lives — a way to pursue our hobbies when we have no time to spare, to have smart people talk at us when we have no time to think, to have new books summarized when we have no time to read

I’ve got lots of people lined up for interviews, which means more than one episode of Jive Talking per week. Here are listening/subscription options.

Episode 9 (“Julianne Subia is bringing justice to privacy”)

This episode’s motto: “Work to learn the skills for your next job.”

Since graduating, she has been taking the opportunity to explore different kinds of career paths, and is now doing marketing for Abine, Inc.

Episode 10 (“Brian Czech wants to save us from ourselves”)

This episode’s motto: “Everyone needs to do their part!”

Czech served as a conservation biologist in the headquarters of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service from 1999-2017 and as a visiting professor of natural resources economics with Virginia Tech through most of that period. He is the author of three books: Supply Shock, Shoveling Fuel for a Runaway Train, and The Endangered Species Act: History, Conservation Biology, and Public Policy. He has published over 50 academic journal articles in more than 20 peer-reviewed journals.
