We got a big boi over here - the first >30m episode! http://storiesfromtheinter.net ephemeraTHEpodcast@gmail.com http://patreon.com/ephemerapodcast I couldn't have done this story without Fred Turner’s book “From Counterculture to Cyberculture”, or Katie Hafner’s extensive 1997 history in Wired magazine: https://www.wired.com/1997/05/ff-well/ the WELL is a much much bigger story than I could possibly tell here. For all that I say in the episode, I think it was a really special place with a prescient idea about how to build bonds in an online community.
