free network service

I’m proud to announce the second episode of the autonomo.us podcast. In Episode 2: Interview with Jimmy Wales of Wikia, we discuss:

• Richard Stallman’s quotes in a recent article in the Guardian
• our efforts to make our own Web site a Free Service
• our interview with Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales about Wikia Search, his company’s project to create a Free Network Service for Web search.

The episode is about 53:30 minutes long, and alternative formats are available at the Internet Archive. It includes these musical samples:

• Dropping out of School from the (awesome) album Out of It by Brad Sucks (Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0)
• minimal ground by bayboom.
• San Anton from the album Bistro Malaga by Estupendo (ad hoc “free to re-use” license)

I had a great time making this podcast with Mako, Brett, and Bradley, and I think we all appreciate the participation of Jimmy Wales in this recording. We recorded on October 18th — one month after our previous recording — but it took me the last couple of weeks to find time to learn Audacity well enough to slice-and-dice this episode and stick in theme music and bumpers and level out the voices and all that jazz. Fun stuff, glad I know it know — and glad we have such great Free Software at our disposal for making recordings like this.

Please comment here or on the Podcast wiki page. I’m looking forward to more exciting podcast recordings in the coming months.
