Hello, world. What is this MODEM podcast all about? Well, we saw a gap emerging in the technical podcast space. That gap was a deeply technical podcast, focused on the protocols, the details, the how-to-demistify-complex things, the unbiased, un-cola of networking that needed to be filled. We’re not interested in the marketing, or the fluff - we want to deconstruct the new shiny things and break them down into comsumable parts. Maybe also some witty banter.

Banned Camp: Banned Books, Comedy, and Free Speech vs. Censorship
Jennifer Davis and Dan Schulz – satirical storytellers, critics of book bans, and irreverent humorists exploring banned literature, challenged books, and other cultural controversies.
Love banned books? Hate censorship? Same. You’re our kind of people. Banned Camp is a comedy podcast where we read banned books and try to figure out why they were banned in the first place. Each season, we tackle a new banned book, reading it chapter by chapter and asking: What made someone clutch their pearls and scream, "BAN IT!"? (Spoiler: It’s rarely what you’d expect.) One thing is clear—the people banning these books often haven’t read them. While we uncover some eyebrow-raising momen ...
