The Noisecast Episode 6 (2018) - Street Photography with Mason Resnick

In this episode, we sit down with street photographer, photojournalist, and teacher, Mason Resnick. Mason studied street photography, in 1976, with Garry Winogrand, considered one of the most influential photographers of the 20th century. Since that time he's covered over 3 decades of photography as an editor at various industry magazines, teacher, and street photographer. 

We also talk about digital vs. film photography, the effects of Instagram on photography, and his latest project TLV18: Photos of Tel Aviv, a photo book created during his most recent trip to Israel and the process of creating a project like this one.

Episode 5: Half-time: The Tech We Like (So Far) 2018

Alberto and Paul are back after a short month off. Life happens, but they're back to give you a quick mid-year review of the tech that they're most interested in for 2018. There's still a lot of 2018 left, but between now and the new year, here's what we've got our eyes on.

The Noisecast Episode 4 (2018) - Damned Kids and Their Self Driving Cars!

In this episode, Paul manages to keep his cool as Alberto's allergies plot to render him unable to coherently speak. When not choking, we manage to discuss a movie nearly a decade in the making - Avengers: Infinity War. We talk about the ethics (or lack thereof) behind Google's Duplex AI bot, and Uber's self-driving software killed a woman and no one seemed to care.
