My interview with Susie Bright: Now readable!
As faithful readers of this blog already know, I was interviewed by Susie Bright a few weeks ago; we discussed everything from moral panics in general to child endangerment paranoia in particular, and the need to review and question every claim the government makes — including about the nature and prevalence of child porn on the Net. For a few weeks, the interview (in two parts) was available only in the sound version, at “In Bed with Susie Bright,” on Audible.com. It’s still there, and you need an IPod or ITune program, plus a few bucks, to get it.
Today, the website 10 Zen Monkeys published a transcript of the interview. Click here to read it.
After you finish checking out 10 Zen’s site, go visit Susie’s. It’s so smart and saucy, it’s addictive. Send her a few bucks, subscribe to “In Bed With” or buy a book from her because, like my sis says, “Susie’s a national treasure.” Unlike Mount Rushmore or Library of Congress, however, she’s not taxpayer supported. Well, not yet…
Debbie, I just finished reading your interview Susie Bright, and I wanted to commend you for all you’ve done over the years. I’m not a journalist. I’m just an insignificant blogger who is dismayed at the state of journalism in the USA, who distrusts government, and who thinks there’s a lot the public is NOT being told about child porn.
I take to heart your belief in “the need to review and question every claim the government makes — including about the nature and prevalence of child porn on the Net.” I’m doing what I can, which often doesn’t seem like much at all. So it inspires me to know that someone of your stature is also questioning the child porn hysteria.
