What's Dave-o Talking About?

At the tail end of the summer a nice cat I connected with via Maker Faire Detroit interviewed me for WXOU, which is 88.3FM in Auburn Hills, MI. I'd thought we were going to talk mostly about maker/DIY stuff, but it ended up being a really fun, wide ranging chat. Robo Robb is a really excellent, laid-back interviewer--which, compounded with my sprung sleep schedule (travel, new baby, etc.) meant that, about four minutes into the interview, I totally forgot that we were recording. When he grabbed his digital recorder off the table as we were leaving--the coffee shop had shut down and wanted to haul their tables in--I suddenly realized I had *no idea* what I'd said. So, everything at this link is gonna be news to both of us.

DISCLOSURE: This tape is long--more than an hour, as I recall--and I have a terrible, nasal Jewish Kermit the Frog voice and creaky geek laugh. It's downright *punishing* to listen to me go on about this stuff. Also, I go pretty far afield on education policy and race in America and clockwork robot war crimes--the whole thing is a hot mess. But Robo Robb is an excellent interlocutor and solid dude. If you ever get a chance to talk with him, *jump at it!*
