George Carlin, Saul Williams, Is Radio Dead?
Thursday, June 26th, 2008 running time 06:07
We thank George Carlin for making us aware of our words, we hear Saul Williams choose his words wisely, and we discover a social network dedicated to learning new languages. Our Artist of the Week does everything from tattoos to album covers and we talk to the band Salt and Samovar. Plus, we give away two of their handmade CD's!
All that, plus the Dino Run top scorer, community face transformations, and the Campfire discussion asks, what is the future of radio?

Great episode.
Saul Williams and Zadi both made a great points about what it means to sell out. I tend to be one of those people who assumes that anyone who lets their music be used in a commercial is a sell out, but maybe that's not always the case. Also, I'm going to have to try Lang-8. I've made several attempts to learn other languages (everything from books to tapes to Rosetta Stone), but aside from a few words here and there, none of them really stuck. Maybe some social interaction might do the trick. By the way, thanks for featuring my Face Transformer manga pic. :D
