Techdirt has announced a new weekly podcast, Ctrl-Alt-Speech, focused on the latest news in online speech. The show is hosted by Mike Masnick, founder of Techdirt, and Ben Whitelaw of the Everything in Moderation podcast. The announcement describes it as a regular discussion of current developments in online speech, though the source is a promotional notice rather than an episode or analysis.
For readers following law and policy, the podcast offers a recurring entry point into debates over moderation, platform rules, and speech rights. The collaboration between Techdirt and Everything in Moderation suggests a mix of legal and moderation-focused perspectives, though no specific topics or guests are listed in the announcement.
The show is available on Apple Podcasts, Overcast, Spotify, Pocket Casts, YouTube, and via RSS. Since the source is only a launch notice, there are no substantive claims to compare or contrast; it simply signals a new venue for ongoing coverage of online speech issues.```json // Wait, the user asked for strict JSON with exactly those keys.
