Cory Doctorow | carpool

[gasdive]

BTW, I'd also like to say that I sent Cory 100 bucks for his free ebook (which I can highly recommend). I don't say this because I want props, but because I want to say that Cory is right. it's a business model that works. It establishes a direct connection to the author, builds brand loyalty. So I recommend him to others.

[gasdive]

I'm having a geek moment here. It's a great talk from Cory. I'm watching this on a Linux box because the DRM on my windows has decided that I stole the OS I bought. I'm seeing people driving around in a Leaf while my electric motorcycle recharges in the garage.

[gasdive]

OMG. I was searching for my fav author and found my fav EV spruker interviewing him!!!!

[4ebees]

You know, Robert. I'd pay to download this show.

I know I can watch it online, I know I can download it for free, but I'd seriously be happy to pay to download it.

Maybe something extra for people who pay? For a dollar or two an episode you could be the next Louis CK.

BoingBoing has a great article about him.

I appreciate you give this away for free, but if you added a bit more for the paying public I'm certain there are people who would (not just me) :)

[ivorbigonee]

come on robert, you are getting a bit lazy me ol mucker. Need more carpool!

Great show.

PLease try and get the man with a head like a fucking orange

[carpoolUK]

@ivorbigonee I just want to say I really appreciate your enthusiasm for Carpool, indeed I have plans for many more shows but at present I have about 10 minutes waking time a week in which to record them. I don't think I've ever been busier, so truthfully, I'm not being lazy, just unable to make any new shows at the mo. :-)

[ivorbigonee]

@carpoolUK you know i love the show, just kidding Robert. When you can.

[Automission42]

@carpoolUK Yeah, I mean, not like you'res busy with any other projects, you know? New series of Red Dwarf? That's not going on so clearly, you're just being lazy. ;)

[xan1234561]

good



[richlinkin]

Lol I only know Cory from XKCD- great ep, as usual!

[TigerAmongstMen]

Am I the only one who hates the theme tune to this? It's so inane!

[aikighost]

Any chance of an interview with the excellent Si Fi author China Miéville? Hes an amazing writer great conversationalist and also a full on intellectual leftie :)

[peterwXXX]

Another awesome show! Great info on publishing!

....en.wikipedia..../wiki/Jame­s_Burke_(science_historian) Interview James Burke, please!

[jackotheripper]

I did not particularly enjoy this particular episode of carpool due to Cory being so fucking boring in this.

[AuntyAlias]

I'm so happy that Carpool is back and with Cory Doctorow at that! A double delicious treat!

[beachfiredude]

what

[SnakesShed]

can you please ask simon from the yogscast on? he is the funniest man in england, 

[wolfekeeper]

Cory Doctorow was invented before my fifteenth birthday, and hence is the order of nature, and that is how it should be.

[On0bi]

i love this show!

[chimpwithagun]

You say "authoritative", I say "authoritato".

[chimpwithagun]

Anything invented before your fifteenth birthday is the order of nature. That's how it should be. Anything invented between your 15th and 35th birthday is new and exciting, and you might get a career there. Anything invented after that day, however, is against nature and should be prohibited. - Douglas Adams

[steinper1]

That was a highly entertaining episode. I never heard about this guy, but I absolutely enjoyed it. Thank you!

[ert69]

his surname should be Doctorwho.. lol

[oneworldfamily]

Never heard of this chap before Bobby gave him a lift - but this is easily one of the best most fascinating Carpool's ever!

[oneworldfamily]

@404jared404 Irony right?

[greyareaRK1]

Is Cory Doctorow living in England these days? I've only read Makers (and a number of articles by or about him), but he's a fascinating guy. Great show!

[dragade101]

thank you very much!

[PyroTyger]

I missed you Rob! Welcome back.

And I'm so glad to have the old title format/song back :-)

[Ur11]

never heard of him

[KlaxonCow]

@Ur11 And I've never heard of you before either. There's several billion people on this planet that I've never heard of before, I'm sure. What's your point exactly?

[Ur11]

@KlaxonCow i'm stating a fact not making a point. 

[KlaxonCow]

@Ur11 Europa is a moon of Jupiter. The triple point of water occurs at 0.01°C. Canines are part of the Caniformia suborder of the order Canivora. Mercury has a boiling point of 356.73°C.

Ah, sorry, just stating some facts.

Not that I'm in any way implicitly making any kind of point in doing so, of course. Nay, it's quite impossible for anyone stating a fact or two to also be making a point with those factual statements at the same time.

Must we dance? Or can we just get to the point here?

[dragade101]

@KlaxonCow, lol. how about @Ur11 is making bother a statement (a point) and a fact. No need to get heated over such a minor issue x.x

It is a fact to say you dont know something (or someone). just saying ;)

[roidroid]

@Ur11 i ran outof hot water in my shower this morning

[dominictemple]

A great talk Bob, thanks for arranging and uploading it.

[morrisonAV]

Thank goodness you've finally fixed the audio.....well done!

[nalawahs]

Any more series for Dave?...

[soundslave]

@nalawahs He's stopped working for Dave now.

[halfpennystudios]

Great to see you back!

[theflames2006]

down and out in the magic kingdom is the first book I read by Cory, and now I'm hooked on his books. this interview was very interesting to me :)

[GuanoLad]

This guy seems to know everybody he needs, who will do stuff for him. That's quite an advantage.

[BrotherAlpha]

This is such an awesome show. It's such a weird premise, but very engaging.

[stopdoingthispls]

Welcome back! Missed you..

[trisoutlaw86]
