Happy to see this mentioned here. RantMedia basically invented the whole idea of podcasts before the term even existed and they played a major role in establishing the hacker sub-culture. AFAIK their online radio ran basically non-stop for 20 years until 2019.

Patrolling with Sean Kennedy (both seasons) is on archive.org and still worth a watch today. Some of his tips are still applicable, (to this day I still go by his sanitize your products, you’re not getting paid to promote a brand) and the rest just makes you sad, seeing how things changed over the decades.

Sometimes I wonder where the fucking man ended up. I know he wrote a few books but basically disappeared from the internet in the 2010s.

afaik only this particular Penguin is a techno-mage, the other `free penguins’ who are not subjects of the GovCorp are basically just scraping by.

no worries!

You shouldn’t have done that.

during the encounter the song Helena played on repeat the entire time in the background, so I’m guessing Graves.

It’s the main villain of the series.

I’m pretty sure they share the same universe!
