DIR 01-FringeReligion
In this, the premier episode of "Information Underground," DeepGeek,
Klaatu, and lostnbronx discuss "fringe religions." What are they? Are
they real, or merely jokes?
DIR 02-Pwnership
Klaatu talks about the concept of ownership, and then Deepgeek,
Lostnbronx, and Klaatu discuss.
DIR 03-Bollywood
In Episode 3 of "Information Underground", Deepgeek, Klaatu, and
lostnbronx discuss the Bollywood phenomenon, and in so doing, get to the
heart of what exactly "good movies" really are.
DIR 04-Censorship
Episode 04 of information underground. The guys discuss censorship on
the interweb, and how to avoid it. Hear a range of ideas from the
mundane of mirroring through shell corporations in states with weird
laws.
DIR 05-Identity
Deepgeek, Klaatu, and lostnbronx discuss the nature of online vs. real
world identity. Who are we all, really, under our various screen names
and avatars? Are we "us", or are we something else? For that matter,
is there even a difference anymore?
DIR 06-Trek
Klaatu talks about Star Trek and what really makes it great, and then
Lostnbronx, Deepgeek, and Klaatu discuss Trek and Science Fiction
in general.
DIR 07-ourOwnCloud
In this episode, the Information Underground gang floats off on their own
cloud, far away from the world. The End. (Or is it...?)
DIR 08-Sex-Drugs-and-Rock-n-Roll
(First presented on Hacker Public Radio.) Deepgeek, Klaatu, and Lostnbronx
look back at the flappers and speakeasies of the 1920s and 30s, and attempt
to draw a line from the newly independent women of that era, up through the
Playboy Bunnies of the 1950s, all the way to today. Are things better or
worse? Is what we "know" about history really important? And do the Info-
Underground boys have any clue what they're even talking about?
DIR 09-Backwards-Capitalism
(First presented on Hacker Public Radio.) The Info-Underground guys consider
why capitalism does (or maybe doesn't) work, why people use it as a tool for
a better life (or maybe don't), and what the source of ambition, commercial
aspiration, and greed truly is (or maybe isn't).
DIR 10-Local-Control
(First presented on Hacker Public Radio.) Deepgeek, Klaatu, and Lostnbronx
discuss communities, real and virtual, and get to the heart (or not) of
the confluent issues surrounding modern confusion, apathy and despair with
their leadership.
DIR 11-Co-Op-Paradise
(First presented on Hacker Public Radio.) Deepgeek, Klaatu, and Lostnbronx
discuss their long-running server co-operative, including the triumphs and
challenges over the years, personal benefits, and why listeners might want
to create such a thing themselves.
DIR 12-State-of-Independence
(First presented on Hacker Public Radio.) Deepgeek, Lostnbronx, and Klaatu
talk about the state of independent art. Going it alone has always been
difficult, but is it easier now to live the creative life, or is it only
getting worse?
DIR 13-21st-Century-Superstar
(First presented on Hacker Public Radio.) Deepgeek, Lostnbronx, and Klaatu
talk about cultural iconography. In a fast-paced era of influencers and
niche content, how much commonality do we still have? Are universal
cultural touchstones even a requirement of civilization anymore?
DIR 14-Working-Out
(First presented on Hacker Public Radio.) Deepgeek, Lostnbronx, and Klaatu
talk about exercise. We ain't gettin' any younger, that's for sure!
