Andrey is the executive director of harbinger media network, a non-profit podcast company based in Paris. He says he's proud to have three french shows on board: Le ficelle, fille rouge and le planchet de vache. They're all aimed at French speakers across canada - not just quebec. Andrey hopes his work will "tilt the discourse" towards ideas that mean a lot to him.
Paris Marx is joined by Maria Bustillos to discuss the important work of the Internet Archive, why it opened a digital National Emergency Library during the pandemic, how access to culture is essential for the social good, and why the major publishers are trying to permanently restrict digital lending in a narrow-minded bid for short-term profit.
Maria Bustillos is the founding editor of Popula and Brick House. She recently wrote about the major publishers’ lawsuit against the Internet Archive for The Nation. Find out more about Brick House and follow Maria on Twitter as @mariabustillos.
