Open Source Reality with Douglas Rushkoff!

This week we talk to one of my all time favourite writers and thinkers Douglas Rushkoff. In this episode we discuss, Obama's potential to tap into bottom-up politics, what happens if we stop believing in the economy, Conspiracy Cultre, hacking reality, what the next renaissance might look like, writing comics, why advertising doesn't work and Magick. I really hope you enjoy this special 20th episode of the show. I'm a HUGE fan of Mr Rushkoff making this a very special episode for me!

Joining me in the examiners chair this week is Media-Underground's George Mortimer and FINALLY our very own Claire Lumiere!

Daddytank hits in with another baby killingly (this will make sense if you listen) awesome 'Myspace Heroes', featuring:
