Every week, I record a special, private bonus podcast for my patrons. Until today, all of that content was restricted to my supporters. But today I've got a sampler platter of some of the best snippets from my bonus Q&A with my interview guests, along with an episode of my more-technical bonus series I call Merlin's Musings. You'll hear from Josh Corman (CISA and I Am the Cavalry), Ernesto Falcon (EFF and CA Senate candidate), Omega and Deth Veggie (Cult of the Dead Cow), Michael Littman (AI expert from Brown Univ) and Cory Doctorow (author and activist), plus the strange story of the ProxyHam.
