All Things Considered

[jayfurr]

If anyone cares:

I will be part of a segment on the history of Internet spam this Saturday on the NPR radio program, "All Things Considered" (which generally airs around 5 pm local time on your local public radio station).

http://www.npr.org/templates/stations/schedule/index.php?prgId=2&showNav=1 takes you to a website where you can look up your local NPR station.

I may get a decent chunk of time. The interviewer told me the story would be presented in a "let the subjects tell the story in their own voices" format, as opposed to a Q&A format.

Hopefully I won't sound like a nut; they produce their programs to take out a lot of the ers, ums, and long-winded rambling, so with any luck I'll sound like I know what I'm talking about.

Thanks very much for the link. They interviewed me a month ago but I hadn't known about today's article until, well, just now.
