Playing radio star

Posted by Tiago On July - 6 - 2009

From the 22nd of June to the 4th of July, with a break for a academic conference in Denver, Colorado, I was on the road with Yann and Julie. In previous posts I have made notice of our progress using google maps, tracking our 5750 km.

Maps locate but don’t do much to give a sense of the experience. I was too tired by the end of the day to provide more than a brainless post from whatever motel we ended up at. We did however record 22 audio commentaries, at least one on the morning of every day, plus some audio curiosities of the trip. The quality is not great. As it turns out, having the car radio on creates a lot of background noise on the recording – rookie mistakes.

About Me

I am an historian of post World War II social science. My research looks at how democracies produce economic knowledge, notably how academics, the lay, and media professionals develop a discourse about economy. I am a very occasional blogger, an even more erratic twitterer. I am currently living in Cambridge, UK.
