Corrupted Nerds is about how the internet revolution is changing society.
We're completely rewiring the way the human species handles information and knowledge for everyone on the planet. And knowledge is power, right? So really, we're changing power relationships at every level of society. And I do mean every level.
Part of this power shift is about nation-states and war and espionage and criminal hackers, and certainly information security and hacking and the cybers are things we'll cover.
But Corrupted Nerds is also about the relationship between governments and their citizens, businesses and their customers, parents and their children and all the rest.
This is the Conversations feed, bringing you interviews and panel discussions with smart people who can help us understand all this stuff.
There's also the Extras podcast, containing related material that happens not to be a conversation. More podcasts streams may emerge in the future.

Conversations 11: Future of the media with Bob Garfield
Remember when the media was a great business to be in? Thanks to the digital revolution, that's all changed. So what now?
"For 300-plus years, it was great for the audience, they got free and subsidised content. It was great for advertisers 'cos they got audience. And it was great for media, 'cos they got filthy stinking rich," says Bob Garfield, former advertising man, veteran journalist and columnist, and co-presenter of the US National Public Radio program On the Media and co-host of the Slate podcast on language, Lexicon Valley.
But now, things are bleak. "Unless you are in gambling, search or porn, there's just no money to be made," he said.
Garfield was in Australia recently to keynote and moderate the media stream at the ADMA Global Forum. That's the Association for Data-driven Marketing and Advertising, formerly the Australian Direct Marketing Association.
In this conversation with Corrupted Nerds, he explains why, basically, we're all fucked.
This interview was recorded on 30 July 2014 in Sydney, Australia.
