Comments on: Pirate history podcast from Tank Riot http://boingboing.net/2009/05/21/pirate-history-podca.html Brain candy for Happy Mutants Thu, 23 May 2013 16:20:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.1 By: MobilesWorking http://boingboing.net/2009/05/21/pirate-history-podca.html#comment-498360 MobilesWorking Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000 #comment-498360 It is a great installment, save Sputnik's enthusiastic endorsement of April's military intervention against Somali pirates. This cheerleading is not a little disconcerting, although the TR guys continue on to provide the context and motives, largely missing from major media coverage, behind Somali piracy.

There is enthusiastic and genuine endorsement of Cory's work in the Tank Riot episode in the midst of the Creative Commons discussion. So I'm not surprised the episode caught Cory's attention, nor am I surprised it was mentioned here. Why not take advantage of a found opportunity for promotion of your stuff? If it matters: Love TR and BB, have not read any of Cory's books. No snark intended, though I can see why some might be detected.
