If you enjoy this podcast, consider buying me a coffee: https://adamstoner.com/support I was buoyed to see several Fun Kids podcasts nominated at the British Podcast Awards earlier this month. The Santa Daily, presented by Father Christmas in the countdown to December 25th is up in two categories: Best Daily, against the likes of Monocle 24's The Globalist, which has been waking me up every morning in lockdown, and even Today in Focus from The Guardian. Best Radio Podcast against Chris Moyles' Radio X and two picks from BBC Radio 4. I'm most proud of The Week Junior Show, the news podcast for children, fully punching its weight in the Best Current Affairs Podcast category with players like the Economist, LBC's James O'Brien from Global, and the Guardian. The results are to be announced in a livestream on July 11th. Gunning for next years' nominations, I'm still producing and editing Fun Kids' lockdown podcast, Stuck at Home. We also launched a brand new podcast, Sean and Robot's Comedy Circuit, which I did the artwork for, and re-launched an older channel with a newer concept, Story Quest. Here's what else I've been up to in May: My local, independent coffee shop re-opened ahead of schedule. It felt good to have a barista-prepared coffee for the first time in two months! The barbers better be next. Fresh bouquets from Bloom & Wild elevate any at-home office. These flowers come through letterboxes and last an impressive amount of time considering they've trundled around the postal system. I've been reading: If you read a lot, I've found a great Amazon alternative: Hive. Buy online, have your book delivered, and an independent bookshop of your choosing gets a percentage of your sale. I read hilarious Q&A between ‘You and Coronavirus' from the New York Times at the start of May. I've been digging into sneak-peaks from Love People, Use Things, a book from Joshua Fields Milburn and Ryan Nicodemus, publishing in 2021. Edward Snowden's autobiography, Permanent Record, about his life and the process behind the 2013 NSA revelations is as eye-opening as the information he blew the whistle on. The Hunger Games' prequel, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, is pretty good. I was worried at first about its length and subject matter but like the original books, which were an allegory for the Iraq War, there's lessons to be learned in this one too. Common Sense For The 21st Century: Only Nonviolent Rebellion Can Now Stop Climate Breakdown And Social Collapse by Extinction Rebellion co-founder Roger Hallam is worth picking up and a lot of the lessons can be applied to other social crises too. Paul Jarvis, founder of privacy-friendly analytics group Fathom, has a good archive of email newsletters on his website covering an array of subjects including digital rights and creativity. His delivers weekly on a Sunday. I've been writing about: All of my blog posts – including this one! – are available as podcast episodes. Just search for my name, Adam Ayrton Stoner, in your podcast app of choice, or just tap here. On Tuesday, I wrote about how the problems we experienced pre-coronavirus will continue to exist after it. Climate change and social justice, but this post paid particular attention to the Black Lives Matter movement. On Wednesday 10th June, and written before the reigniting of the Black Lives Matter movement in the US, I put down some radical ideas for a future post-coronavirus. It mainly focuses on governance but the ideas are definitely geared towards creating more equal and just societies. Subscribe in your podcast app of choice to hear me read it when it's released. Earlier in the month, I wrote about how one might use blockchain technology to build uncensorable social media platforms. I don't have the technical know-how to do that but I have been working on ways to mirror tweets to the Ethereum chain; a bit like an immutable version of Politwoops, which tracks tweets politicians delete. I've been enjoying: As a longterm holder of the granddaddy of cryptocurrency, celebs like JK Rowling talking about it fills me with a sense of pride. I've been lax with the security around my crypto holdings for quite some time so purchased a Trezor hardware wallet to store Bitcoin and Ethereum. Battling with poor upload and download speeds, I purchased Little Snitch, a programme for your Mac that reveals all the connections other programmes on it are making and lets you block them at at will. If you use Adobe Creative Cloud, your jaw will hit the floor at just how many times your computer pings their servers. Weirdly, blocking those connections doesn't even affect the functionality of the programmes. That's all for now. Until next time. Your friend, Adam.

LA Times columnist Patt Morrison speaks with Derek Willis from Politwoops, an online service which exhumes the deleted tweets of politicians. 

Today we try to figure out what happens when our future presidential candidates have thousands of Tweets and Tumblr posts and Instagrams in their online record.     What happens, when today’s teens start running for office? When their entire internet history is there, searchable, for us to read? What if these teens Tweet something at 15 that they might regret at 45? Do we learn to accept that their opinions have changed? Or do we go through every candidate's entire social media history to find dirt on them? Does that tactic still work in the future? Or do we all just throw up our hands and admit that teens have bad opinions and that hopefully those opinions have changed?     To find out, I talked to a real live young person with political ambitions, Eve Zhurbinskiy a student at George Washington University. She describes her own social media strategy, and how she never Tweets without thinking about how it might come back to bite her. She also talks about going back and deleting Facebook posts and even in one case her entire Tumblr because she thought it might be used against her.    And that’s not paranoid, I also talk to someone who tracks that kind of thing among politicians. Josh Stewart from the Sunlight Foundation explains what Politwoops is and why they’re tracking the deleted Tweets of politicians.     And to round things out this episode I talked to someone who’s got a lot of experience managing digital campaigns for today’s politicians. Laura Olin was one of the first hires for Obama’s 2012 digital team, and she not only ran the Obama Tumblr, but she also actually Tweeted as the President.     Throughout the episode we discuss all kinds of questions about how we think about and forgive humans.     In March of this year, a State Supreme Court justice from Wisconsin named Rebecca Bradley issued an apology for some columns that she wrote 24 years ago in a student newspaper. In the columns she referred to gay people as “queers” and called people with AIDS “degenerates who basically commit suicide through their behavior.” She also said that it would be better to get AIDS than cancer, because, quote “those afflicted with the politically correct disease will be getting all of the funding.” And that abortion is like the Holocaust and slavery.     Bradley says that she was, quote “frankly embarrassed at the content and tone of what I wrote those many years ago” but she also said that when she wrote them, she was “a very young student.” Now the release of these 24 year old columns wasn’t random, the organization that found the columns unveiled them just a month before voters in Wisconsin would vote on whether or not Bradley should retain her seat on the court.     People who wanted Bradley off the court, said that the comments in the columns were so hateful that time didn’t really matter. People who wanted Bradley to say said that she had grown and learned since then, and did not still hold those beliefs. (To be clear, there was also a contingent of people who supported Bradley because they still do hold those beliefs).     So, voters in Wisconsin could decide. And they decided to keep her, Bradley won her seat back. So you could interpret that as evidence that past transgressions can be forgiven, right?     So this brings us to one version of this future. A future in which voters learn to approach their candidates as flawed individuals, people who have made missteps, people who can change their mind. This isn’t to say that we let people off the hook for their past, but rather that we are okay with them saying “I was wrong, and here’s how I’ve changed for the better.” Learn more about your ad choices.

De VPRO-radio introduceert een nieuwe podcast-serie: de halve marathon-interviews. In de traditie van de marathon-interviews, waarin al meer dan 25 jaar bekende programmamakers live drie uur met een bijzondere gast in gesprek gaan, voeren jonge radiomakers anderhalf uur lang openhartige en spraakmakende gesprekken met een dichter, rock-en-roller, directeur en modekoningin. Je kent ze wel, die tweets die politici bij nader inzien toch liever verwijderen. Dat zijn nu precies de meest interessante en onthullende berichten die er zijn. Arjan El Fassed (42) ontwikkelde met de Open State Foundation - waarvan hij tegenwoordig directeur is - de site Politwoops, om precies die kostbare gegevens vast te houden. Hack de overheid is zijn devies; gebruik de digitale technieken om te streven naar volledige digitale en democratische transparantie. Arjan El Fassed is voormalig Tweede Kamerlid van GroenLinks (o.a. digitale agenda) en werkte aan diverse projecten voor mensenrechtenorganisaties in het Midden-Oosten. Ook schreef hij een boek over zijn Palestijnse roots. ​ Tessa de Vries gaat in gesprek met Arjan El Fassed.

The nonprofit organization Sunlight Foundation has been keeping track of the tweets politicians didn't want you to see anymore. The site, called Politwoops, saved the tweets deleted by lawmakers. For the past three years, it tracked thousands of blunders and position changes. It also helped track how Twitter was being used for political discourse. But last week, Twitter suspended Sunlight's access to its information, shutting down Politwoops. The move raises questions about how the social network balances privacy with the public's right to know what their politicians are up to online. WBEZ web producer Chris Hagan tells us more.
