Carl tells us he was always more motivated to &#8220;do it for real,&#8221; rather than write a policy paper, and that he was also driven by a commitment to openness, to ensure public access to information of civic import. Today he continues working for the cause of public information as the founder and president of Public Resource. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Show Notes:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.org\/search.php?query=creator%3A%22Internet+Talk+Radio%22\">Internet Talk Radio and &#8220;Geek of the Week&#8221; at the Internet Archive<\/a><\/li><li>Wired Magazine, July 1, 1994: <a href=\"http:\/\/Geek of the Week\">Geek of the Week<\/a><\/li><li>Wikipedia: <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Carl_Malamud\">Carl Malamud<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/public.resource.org\/\">Public.Resource.org<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiosurvivor.com\/2018\/09\/17\/internet-radio-is-older-than-you-think\/\">Internet Radio Is Older Than You Think<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.streamingmediaglobal.com\/Articles\/Editorial\/Featured-Articles\/25-Years-of-Internet-Radio-Part-1-127220.aspx\">Streaming Media: 25 Years of Internet Radio, Part 1<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiosurvivor.com\/2018\/09\/25\/podcast-160-marking-a-quarter-century-of-internet-radio\/\">Podcast #160 \u2013 Marking a Quarter-Century of Internet Radio<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiosurvivor.com\/2020\/07\/07\/podcast-253-sound-streams-dissecting-the-history-of-internet-radio\/\">Podcast 253 \u2013 Sound Streams: Dissecting the History of Internet Radio<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Carl Malamud is credited with having one of the very first streaming internet talk radio shows, &#8220;Geek of the Week,&#8221; beginning in 1993.
