b'This episode is a little different than other episodes. As many of you know, Flash Forward is my second job. My first job is at ESPN, where I recently helped launch an audio documentary series called 30 for 30 Podcasts. Please go check that out, even if you don\\u2019t like sports I promise there\\u2019s something for you. My episodes are numbers three and four in the series, and they\\u2019re both out, and if you like the weird stuff I do on this show I think you\\u2019ll probably enjoy them.\\n\\xa0\\n\\xa0Trying to make two highly produced shows at once is hard though! So for my mental health, this month\\u2019s Flash Forward is a bit of a remix. The top of the show is new, it\\u2019s an interview with Kit Walsh, who is a staff attorney at Electronic Frontier Foundation where she works on free speech, net neutrality, copyright, coders\' rights, and other issues that relate to freedom of expression and access to knowledge. Then, you\\u2019ll hear a remixed version of an old episode about the future of the internet, and what it would take for us to abandon the world wide web.\\n\\xa0\\n\\xa0More information about net neutrality:\\n\\xa0\\n\\xa0Net neutrality explained: "Imagine internet is pizza ..."\\n\\xa0Throttling on Mobile Networks Is a Sign of Things to Come, Unless We Save Net Neutrality Now\\n\\xa0Dear FCC\\n\\xa0Ajit Pai\\u2019s anti-net neutrality plan gets the facts and law wrong, lawmakers say\\n\\xa0Am I The Only Techie Against Net Neutrality?\\n\\xa0\\n\\xa0The remixed episode after my interview with Kit is all about what it would take to lose the internet. And to figure that out I talked to two historians of digital culture at NYU. Laine Nooney studies the history of computers and video games. Finn Brunton studies how and why different technologies get adopted (or don\\u2019t).\\n\\xa0\\n\\xa0Flash Forward is produced by me, Rose Eveleth. The intro music is by Asura and the outtro music is by Hussalonia. The episode art is by Matt Lubchansky. Special thanks this episode to Lena Groeger, Sisi Wei, Colin Schultz, and my mom. Yes, that was my actual mom.\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\n\\xa0If you want to suggest a future we should take on, send us a note on Twitter, Facebook or by email at info@flashforwardpod.com. I love hearing your ideas! And if you think you\\u2019ve spotted one of the little references I\\u2019ve hidden in the episode, email us there too. If you\\u2019re right, I\\u2019ll send you something cool.\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\n\\xa0And if you want to support the show, there are a few ways you can do that too! We have a Patreon page, where you can donate to the show. But if that\\u2019s not in the cards for you, you can head to iTunes and leave us a nice review or just tell your friends about us. Those things really do help.\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\n\\xa0That\\u2019s all for this future, come back next month and we\\u2019ll travel to a new one.\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
