> Greetings.  This coming Sunday night (10/19), from 11 PM PDT to 2 AM
> PDT Monday morning (yep, three hours) I'll be discussing a wide
> range of Internet-related topics as the guest on the nationally
> (actually internationally available) syndicated "Coast to Coast AM"
> (C2C) radio show ( http://www.coasttocoastam.com ).  While I've been
> on the show numerous times before, I don't usually have much notice
> in advance or a wide open agenda, so this time I have the
> opportunity to ask for your assistance beforehand.

> C2C is an interesting creature indeed.  Originated by Art Bell many
> years ago, it's now mostly hosted by George Noory.  It's the
> 500-pound gorilla of late night radio, on over 500 stations plus
> satellite radio and Internet, with millions of nightly listeners.
>
> While widely known for its focus on UFOs, the paranormal, and other
> "far out" topics, it also features mainstream guests (I assume that
> I fall into this category) discussing more "conventional" topics
> (Wired: "Coast to Coast is No Wack Job"
> - http://www.wired.com/science/discoveries/news/2006/02/70218 ).
>
> I've found the show to be a great forum for discussing technology
> topics where I'm not just "preaching to the choir" -- and some of
> the best questions I've ever been asked about these topics have been
> from C2C listeners (OK, I've gotten some pretty odd questions too,
> but that's part of the package).
>
> Since I do have a number of days warning this time, and a pretty
> much open agenda within the general topic area of the Internet, I'd
> like to solicit your ideas for specific issues that you'd be
> interested in having discussed on air if possible.  Net neutrality,
> privacy, censorship, control, security, "future of the Internet" --
> or whatever.  This isn't a hardcore technical show, so I'm not going
> to be getting into Ethernet wiring or protocol discussions, but with
> so many issues of concern these days that are Internet related, this
> is an opportunity to get some of these matters in front of a very
> large audience, many members of which likely don't read our
> technical blogs and mailing lists!
>
> Please let me know your ideas, ideally as soon as possible.
> Feel free to tune in Sunday night if you can
> ( http://www.coasttocoastam.com/info/wheretolisten.html ).
>
> Thanks.  Be seeing you.
