Episode 182: Feel Like a Writer with Dave Karpf
Manage episode 400059288 series 2562038
“I ended up throughout the midst of the pandemic feeling like I couldn’t write anything anymore.”
Dave Karpf, author of the must-read “The Future, Now and Then” on Substack, joins Brian to talk about writing, the internet, and more.
Dave and Brian discuss this week’s news about Bluesky opening itself to the public, and why the years where there wasn't a lot of money in it was when the internet was the best.
Dave, a political science professor at George Washington University, talks about how he built a weekly writing practice on Substack, and how it helped him unstick as a writer. He talks about his writing about the intersection of technology and society, what we can learn about the present and the future by the stories tech evangelists told us in the past, and the most bonkers thing he’s read in the Wired Magazine archives.
“This is what happens when you give a guy like me tenure”
