The David Moscrop Show, Episode 1: Cory Doctorow
We cover why the big tech oligarchy is a threat, why the internet sucks, how to make a cup of coffee, and why your mom might have accidentally been an activist in the 1980s.
I have a new, bi-weekly podcast. After years of planning and millions spent on focus groups, we’re calling it The David Moscrop Show. It’s got a ring to it. And you know what you’re getting. Money well spent.
My first guest is Cory Doctorow, a best-selling author, journalist, and activist. His latest book, Picks and Shovels, is out now wherever fine books are sold and here. We talked about how big tech is seizing power, how the internet is becoming enshitified, how Orwell was a late-life snitch, and so, so much more.
This podcast is free and always will be. A like or a share is a vote of confidence and helps support my work. Thanks for listening.
You can also subscribe to my newsletter, if you haven’t, and you’ll never miss a post or pod.
Great first show David, I appreciate your interviewing style and Cory Doctorow was an inspired choice. I’m looking forward to seeing who’s next
I was an activist in the 80s! Along with Maude Barlow!
