Ep495 Dolby

If you're joining us new from ECCC, welcome, and if you've been here all along, then hello once again! We had a tremendous time, and as those who follow us on The Twitter know, the commission requests were in all ways what we've come to expect from the creative and wonderful folk of Seattle. I'll be posting more of those on Thursday, along with sharing several of the other rad things from the show.

In the meantime, though, here is an interview that I did at ECCC in which we talk about Ayn Rand, Lincoln's Ass Whooping Hat, and Witch Doctor, among other things - I don't actually hear my own voice all that often in a recorded format, so it came a something of a surprise to me to learn that "just sort of" is apparently my cadence regulation phrase.

There will be more to speak of as regards Kinsey later - but in the meantime, I'd like to point you to one of my favorite books, The Modernization of Sex, by Paul Robinson. Robinson was my senior thesis advisor at Stanford back in the day, and this book should be required for everybody thinking about an academic career - his insistence on clarity and simplicity in academic prose, his crusade to pare down ego-stroking jargon coinages, and his humor are all at their best here, AND you get to read about early studies into American sexuality!
