Good Will Hinton Weekly Podcast - Andrew Keen


37:20 minutes (8 MB)

Yesterday I was joined by Andrew Keen, author of the new controversial book The Cult of the Amateur.

I went into this interview with about three pages of objections I had about Keen's book. I had already written at length last week about some of my concerns about Keen's book.

However, as our discussion got underway, I decided that real dialog rather than playing the "gotcha game" would be much more interesting. I'm sure that some listeners will feel that I copped out of asking Keen some harder questions, but quite frankly those questions have already been asked of Keen both online and in other interviews.

As a blogger, I am more interested in finding common ground with Keen. As I discovered in our chat, Keen is less concerned about technology than he is about various cultural changes.

Feel free to join the discussion in the comment section.
