WARNING!! This podcast includes NSFW language! I debated putting this on my Website. I cursed more than a sailor. These two episodes for the AOL Underground podcast were meant to be “underground.” I was speaking to my former fellow hackers from the America Online “scene,” as we called it. This is not meant to be a professional podcast. But the story ended up being so deep and important to me that I’m posting here. We may re-record a SFW version later.
