  digital objectsBut I'm almost more interested in what's happening in terms of emergent publication, a publication that is happening without knowing, publishing or producing non-consciously just by sharing a digital space, therefore sharing a language group, therefore interacting with major search engines and things in common ways. So you have a shared embedding. You hollowed out a section where all these terms relate.

  digital objectsOne thing we really liked about podcasts is that it's like fast theory. I'm still so old school that I really like a well-edited text. And I realize that's not the case, especially working with so many publications these days. It's rare to have a real exchange on editing, but I do like well-edited text and podcasts. We also edit a lot. I respect the listeners' time, although I know that's not everyone's style. Some people appreciate the parasocial aspect of just, hitting play and letting that go. For things that are more theoretical, I think it's really helpful to try to cut something clearer together. Podcasts are maybe two days of editing, whereas putting together an essay and a book is going to be a lot longer for the text production and the editing. People are busy and sometimes, getting the freshest thoughts in circulation, there's a value to that. That's what Twitter before X was so valuable for, is like journalists would just get their idea out so they didn't give it away, get scooped. The pace of the thinking was moving much faster than publishing. So podcasting is somewhere between just posting on social media and publishing a book. It's also obviously way less expensive and logistically way simpler. You just need an RSS and a computer. So that's a big value. Video is interesting though. Julian and I think a lot about that. We think about just how popular YouTube is and how the way that most people are taking information now is multiple channels at once. And video is an important node in that.
