15 years ago I tried to vanish, in an experiment to explore the role of tech in privacy and surveillance. Older and not-wiser, I'm back with a sequel.
This time, I replicated myself, and set my AI replicas loose in the world.
The podcast is called Shell Game. Ep 1, out now.

If you're around NYC on Thursday eve, come see @HigginbothamA and I chopping it up at @bookculture about his new narrative history of the Challenger disaster: tinyurl.com/4sptkjhp. Out today, this book is un-put-downable, whether you know the basic story or not.
This Thursday, May 16th, I'll be appearing @bookculture in NYC to discuss CHALLENGER with my friend @ev_rat If you're in the neighborhood, please join us! Details: tinyurl.com/4sptkjhp

If you're a reporter who likes to investigate, you need to listen to @longform's conversations with this year's George Polk Awards winners. I look forward to these every year. The conversations energize me and offer a glimpse into the minds of insanely talented journalists.

The pull quote @longform chose says everything you need to know about my current headspace 🤣

“Where does it leave me? It leaves me with a searing anger that is going to propel me to the next thing.”

“Being really readable and really compelling is a good thing. Sometimes when we talk about literary writing, we think the more complicated and difficult it is, the higher brow it is. I just don’t agree with that. The idea of something being accessible, to me, is interesting.”
Longform Podcast #552: Azam Ahmed (@azamsahmed) international investigative correspondent for @nytimes and author of “Fear Is Just a Word: A Missing Daughter, a Violent Cartel, and a Mother's Quest for Vengeance”

I don't think there's a much better interviewer for me than @ev_rat whose first-person "Vanish" story in @WIRED (wired.com/2009/11/ff-vanish2…) was an extremely influential piece for me at the start of my journalism career. We did this at the @nytimes studio. Love in-person interviews!
Longform Podcast #551: Kashmir Hill (@kashhill), tech reporter for @nytimes and author of “Your Face Belongs to Us: A Secretive Startup’s Quest to End Privacy as We Know It”

Listened to this back in April. Was an incredible story about “the story to the story” about the Stanford President and claims of academic fraud.
If you're just hearing about how @tab_delete and his @StanfordDaily colleagues took on (and now took down) the Stanford president, he had a great conversation with @maxlinsky back in April explaining how he did it:

So, here’s a story of how a traffic stop in Tulsa launched a massive investigation into an alleged $545 million catalytic converter theft ring, during which one police officer was killed and another grew obsessed with “cutting the head off the snake” 4/4:

If you, like me, hated @amychozick’s Holmes piece, then this is worth your time. By the end, I was much more positive about her and her article.
Also, the @longformpodcast trio of @aaronlammer @maxlinsky & @ev_rat is outstanding & a must-listen for me every week. Thanks, guys.
Episode 535: Amy Chozick (@amychozick) on her latest @nytimes article, “Liz Holmes Wants You to Forget About Elizabeth”

It was amazing speaking with @maxlinsky about the Amazon forest series for the @longform podcast. He's such a pro and sensitive and thoughtful interviewer. We talked about the violent and lawless dismantling of the Amazon forest -- and those who've been lost to the destruction.
The final episode of our series with @PolkAwards winners:
Terrence McCoy (@terrence_mccoy), Rio de Janeiro Bureau Chief for @WashingtonPost and author of "The Amazon, Unbound," a series on the illegal and often violent exploitation of the rainforest

I’m such a fan of @longformpodcast and was absolutely tickled when this popped up in my feed today. Talked my book, the economy, financial journalism and how money works (lots of zeros basically) with @maxlinsky
