Back on "Coast to Coast AM" Tomorrow Night on Privacy and Internet Issues
http://lauren.vortex.com/archive/000759.html
Greetings. Late night code hackers, Beltway spooks, and other
assorted lovers of the wee hours may recall my brief interview on
"Coast to Coast AM" radio less than two weeks ago during the
opening news segment -- several heart-stopping minutes of Q&A
commentary regarding the hot (or at least pungent) topic of
RFID-equipped trash bins.
Due to the overwhelmingly positive response from garbage pail fans
around the country, I've been invited back for a two-hour stint on
this national program late this *Tuesday* (tomorrow night).
Seriously, I'll be back on with host George Noory for one of my more
typical long-form interviews on the show, starting shortly after
midnight PDT (after the news break, etc.) Now of course officially
that's really very early Wednesday morning, but it's easier to think
of it as very late Tuesday night. Uh, right?
As usual for these extended segments on C2C, we'll probably cover a
range of privacy-related and Internet topics. I already know that one
issue very likely to come up is the recently disclosed "Barksdale"
security breaches at Google, involving an engineer (now fired) who
allegedly snooped on teenaged Google-users' private data
( http://bit.ly/9WkmTd [Lauren's Blog] ). But hopefully we'll at least
be able to touch on a bunch of interesting and relevant topics.
My boilerplate regarding C2C:
I've guested on the show many times previously, discussing a range of
topics from security and privacy to other technology-related issues --
and have always been made to feel very welcome.
While Coast to Coast AM is widely known for its focus on
"speculative" topics that various observers quite reasonably
consider to be rather outside the "mainstream," the show also
features many "hard science" guests and topics of more
conventionally serious interests. Some of the best questions I've
received on technology topics have come from listeners of Coast to
Coast AM.
The Wired article "Coast to Coast AM Is No Wack Job" is a useful
backgrounder if you're not already familiar with the show
( http://bit.ly/blIexO ).
While there is no centralized free Internet streaming of the show, it is
available on a vast number of stations around the country, plus
satellite radio and other venues. See the station list for
details: http://bit.ly/aa2R2M (Coast to Coast AM).
Be seeing you.
