Congratulations to the New Books Network for reaching a new milestone: 25,000 interviews! It’s been my pleasure to be interviewed twice, each time to talk about a different book of mine.

FYI, the #NewBooksNetwork is one of the world’s largest public education projects, a consortium of author-interview podcast channels dedicated to #PublicEducation. NBN works directly with over twenty university presses including Princeton University Press, Oxford University Press, the University of Chicago Press, and the MIT Press. #Books #Bookstodon #Educators #Education #Academics

Woohoo it's #SocialistSaturday! Why not start your weekend with six hours of conversation (so far) covering 1800 pages (so far) of research about the emergence of #Trotskyism in the #USA? Tons of fun for committed revolutionaries everywhere! Except Stalinists. I mean, y'might wanna hide those icepicks, eh? ;-) #NewBooksNetwork #History #AmericanHistory #Histodon #Socialism #Communism #Politics #USPol

It's not often that I get to point out Internet Monopolies being sharecroppers.

The real dish here is that Reddit was one of the few domains in which the ad-fed #enshittification and #SidamTouch (ad-centric media turns everything to shit, reverse of Midas) wasn't ... overly dominant.

And now courtesy of mismanagement by #spez, #Reddit, #AdvanceMedia, and the Reddit board, #GeneralWebSearch which as been in a death spiral for years is suddenly getting far, far worse.

I've commented multiple times that I rely far more on traditional media (mostly books and magazine articles) these days than the Web. Sites/services such as #SciHub, #LibraryGenesis, and #ZLibrary have been absolutely vital for this, and despite much of the online world getting markedly worse, these are bright spots.

(Internet Archive, Wikipedia / Wikimedia, Project Gutenberg, and a handful of other sites/services are among the other bright spots which happen to operate inside the law, though the fact that useful sites have to violate law says a hell of a lot about how corrupt and societally-failing the law is these days.)

My #ResearchMethods for #ContentDiscovery now are based strongly on library research techniques I'd learned in the 1980s: research topics of interest, find major works and the authors of those works, read those, and if the same names or works keep turning up then find and read those. I'll also make heavy use of podcasts, especially those reviewing books and/or interviewing authors (particularly on academic topics), most notably the #NewBooksNetwork.

This may not lead you to truth, but it will virtually always point you to the foundations of present understanding and orthodoxy.

Truly principled authors will note conflicting / contradictory viewpoints --- #PatrickOphuls is excellent in this regard. Even unprincipled authors will often point out key voices in opposition to them, though usually by trash-talking and belittling them. (I'd found a wonderful example of this in a Reason review on Conway & Oreskes latest book The Big Myth.)

I'll throw in a "fourth" as a cheat: the New Books Network, which is not a single podcast but literally a collection of well over a hundred channels on academic topics (though many individual episodes will appear on multiple channels). This is the project of Marshall Poe.

Quality is uneven, both in production and hosting, and there is advertising, often sudden and intrusive. Still, as a place to find academic work and deep dives into topics very often not dominating news cycles or other cultural coverage, and for the huge back-catalogue (dating to the mid-aughts), again, an excellent resource. Some hosts are excellent, others ... grating with time. But I find myself returning frequently and being well rewarded more often than not.

The New Books Network is a great way to keep track of new academic publications

This is a set of podcast channels on specific academic topics with authors of works that don't otherwise see much if any exposure in the lay press.

I've been a fan for several years. A random endorsement just because it's an underappreciated gem.
