Basically, I have some free time right now and thought I would produce some pro-socialist tech propaganda, so very little of it right now.
I'm thinking weekly hour long episodes. The first half is a highlight of an open source project/program. The second half will be a focused dive into a single tech company/startup. The point of the second half is the expose the toxic culture of Silicon Valley and its ties with economic imperialism.
Does this sound interesting to anyone?
I am probably part of your target demographic, and the second part about the imperialism of the tech industry sounds promising, but the open source thing doesn’t interest me unless it is related to fighting the issues or something.
For example, highlight open source replacements for evil tech. Or projects fighting against companies or projects. Or projects making free platforms to escape the tech monopolies. Or discussing opsec for organizers. That kind of thing.
In fact. I wouldn’t make it specifically about open source, and more about calls to action and things people can do to fight whatever tech imperialism you highlighted in the episode.
Also, I know all the left podcasts seem to run for an hour or more, but personally I find that too long. Especially when they are just unedited conversations.
