If you missed the first-ever Keenevention, no worries! Here’s the audio of not just one… not two… but THREE talks from the event.

First up, a lively panel discussion that I moderated on bitcoin… and how it can set us free. Newbie friendly! Panelists were: George Mandrik, bitcoin baklava merchant and customer support at Blockchain.info; Matthew Carano, owner of Pão Cafe, a Brazilian restaurant in NH that accepts bitcoin; and JJ Schlessinger, host of Neocash Radio and manager of The Quill, a libertarian community center that accepts bitcoin.

Next, the technology panel moderated by Brian Sovryn, featuring Steve Zemanek, Johnson Rice, Jay Freeville, and Bill Domenico.

Finally, the closing keynote from ex-corrections office Bryan Tann, who left his former job on principle.

Some interludes from me. :)

Enjoy!

Last night we added an extra hour to the show – that’s right, we did four whole hours of FTL! It’s just that we cut out the first hour. On this show, we also talk about the Federal Rice-serve, and bitcoins on the ham radio. Oh, and lizard people.

For those of you who have been listening to Porc Therapy since the beginning (I mean, the *very* beginning)… you will catch the reference to perhaps the most infamous early episode of Porc Therapy ever: the one where Mike and I talked about our feelings on babies dressed as strawberries.

Well, that topic is back to haunt us, just in time for Halloween. It came up on Free Talk Live. Mark was a nice foil. I wonder how he’d feel about wearing a pea pod hat…

Hoodie The Homeless

Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 56:38 — 65.2MB)

I recently got together with Davi Barker from Bitcoin Not Bombs and Jason King from Sean’s Outpost. Bitcoin Not Bombs is a launching pad for bitcoin charities and non-profit organizations. Sean’s Outpost is an advocacy organization for the homeless that operates exclusively in bitcoin.

In this wide ranging conversation, we talk about homelessness, the stigma surrounding it and how culture views homeless people (and those who work to help them). We also hear more about Bitcoin Not Bombs’ project to Hoodie The Homeless in the San Francisco Bay Area, and what Jason has been doing in Pensacola, Florida to not only provide meals and housing to homeless people, but create a sanctuary for homeless people called Satoshi Forest – on land that he’s purchasing with bitcoin! These guys have been busy!

It’s a fascinating show. Enjoy!

If you like this podcast, we encourage you to support these projects – #HoodieTheHomeless, Sean’s Outpost, or Porc Therapy via joining Local Bitcoins through my affiliate link!

This was one of my favorite Let’s Talk Bitcoin episodes ever, and I’m pleased to share it with you. Those of you who have been listening to Porc Therapy for a while may recognize my good friend George Mandrik‘s voice. He shares his perspective as a merchant who has been accepting bitcoin in person and online for years. Plus, how do we know the price of a bitcoin? It depends on who you ask…

Free Talk Live Sunday 9/15! I liked this show a lot. We talked about marriage – why is it that straight guys are less likely to do it? Plus, how juries are completely non-scientific, and why that matters.
