No Market Radio 0029 – Not Earth Day

Summary: We recorded this episode during Earth Hour (not Earth Day). Technically, it wasn't during the Earth Hour for the time zone we currently live in. However, it matched up to the time zone we used to live in, so we figure that's good enough. This meant we could not do a live show for this episode, or use our computers, microphones, the mixer, or the lights. Despite these limitations, we managed to record a podcast anyway, by using Shawn's iPhone. Yes, we are that dedicated to our lovely listeners! We discussed the following topics: * What's Earth Hour? (Hint: It's not Earth Day.) * The auditory differences between our studio and our bedroom. * Shawn's shares a "life changing experience" that he had the day before we recorded this episode. (Hint: It involves soda.) * Enzo's * We still aren't ready to talk about a couple of projects we have coming up. * What does a freelance writer do when she lacks paid writing work? * Books! We got lots of them. We are getting rid of lots of them. We talk about why. This time, I'm the one with some interesting quotes: * "That's the guy that cut off his ear. There's his painting!" * "There's no stability in teaching!" * "What are all these books doing in the Apple store?" * "It's mine forever... until I sell it." * This, naturally, leads to a discussion about "The Evil Bookstore", changes in the book industry, and the pros and cons of eBooks vs. paper books. * Redigi * We also started talking about digital books vs. digital music, and the issue of storage. Music by: * Moreish, with a song called "Reason to Die" Leave a comment below. Or send an e-mail to info(at)nomarket(dot)org Follow No Market on Twitter.
