Podcast: Interview with Antony Loewenstein about "The Blogging Revolution"

by

I can’t imagine any readers of this site not being interested in the content of Antony Loewenstein’s “The Blogging Revolution,” a book about bloggers who live and blog under authoritarian regimes.

It’s relevant to many of us blogging at this site. Antony has long been one of my favorite bloggers, mostly because he has guts. If he has something to say he’ll say it regardless of whether or not the majority would agree with him.

In this podcast we discuss the following:

  • Introduction of the book and why it was written
  • Countries he traveled to in order to conduct the interviews/studies behind the book
  • Western multinationals such as Yahoo, Google, etc and their occassional role in state censorship or activist crackdowns
  • The future of the internet and where blogging is headed
  • Victims of the blogging revolution

    • And a few other things in between. I hope that you will enjoy this podcast and find it useful, I encourage you to get the book.
