WARNING: This episode's audio quality is exceptionally, exceptionally bad. Special thanks to Will Kraus for cleaning it up. In future episodes, I’ll be using a better mic.

Is a journalist who reports on virtual events that happen in a virtual world still a journalist? If you choose to present yourself as a rabbit online, does that say anything meaningful about who you really are? I spoke with Peter Ludlow, founder of The Alphaville Herald about living your life—fully online.

I am an awkward person, and audio conversations aren’t always easy for me. I forget words, I stutter sometimes, I even lose my train of thought. Needless to say, the podcast format can sometimes be challenging, especially when I don’t already know the person I’m speaking to. Are these conversations valuable? Should I keep doing them? Drop me a line below, let me know how you feel anonymously.

Discussion about this episode

Just subscribed here because hiatus of ATO left me jonesing.

Was afraid I'd have to sit at my computer to listen but then I noticed the "listen in podcast app" feature, which worked surprisingly well -- I can listen on the podcast app on phone even though I'm not logged in to Substack on that device. Just had to open an email and click a few buttons. So now can listen while taking a walk, doing laundry etc. as usual.
