There has been a lot of talk about growing Detroit, Southeast Michigan and Michigan's economy through startups and technology. But how do you actually do it - not just here, but in a number of cities across the country that aren't Silicon Valley, Seattle, New York City or other existing hubs? I thought I'd get some outside perspective with some experience dealing with Michigan, in Brian McCullough. Not only is he the founder and host of the daily Techmeme Ride Home podcast (among others), he's an enterpreneur, investor, and internet historian. We have a very real conversation about the topic, with a lot of experience and perspective.

Brian’s current podcast is Techmeme Ride Home , a popular daily summary of tech news that has over a million downloads every month. Brian is also an investor running the Ride Home Fund and a resident at TED (check out Brian’s talk ). Brian is on Twitter as @brianmcc ( https://twitter.com/brianmcc ).

SquadCast -- a powerful tool for recording interviews. It saves high quality audio locally and uploads files to the cloud, so you can download and process them later. Zoom -- video conferencing and audio recording. GarageBand -- the audio editor that comes for free with MacOS that Brian uses for podcast editing. Libsyn -- a podcast hosting platform we mentioned in the conversation. Gear Shure SM7b -- a kick ass condenser mic for podcasters and radio hosts. It's pretty much the golden standard in the industry. It's expensive and also requires an audio interface because it only has an XLR output (no direct connection to your computer's USB port). Blue Yeti -- an inexpensive USB mic that has multiple recording modes (e.g. cardioid, condenser, etc.) Arnab recorded this (and other) episodes using a Blue Yeti mic. Brian was also using a Blue Yeti for this recording! Harlan Hogan's Porta-Booth -- the foamy thing that helps prevent the room echo during recording that Brian uses for recording Techmeme Ride Home in the home office.

The Internet has transformed humanity. The Internet is the result of a long series of innovations from military, academia, business, and the open source community. In his book, How The Internet Happened: From Netscape to the iPhone , Brian McCullough tells the story of the last 25 years of Internet development through the lens of companies like ebay, Amazon, Google, and Apple. Whereas other books have focused on the trajectory of these individual companies, Brian explains how innovations in one company often lead to success in another. Without the lessons from Napster, we might not have Spotify. Without the trust model pioneered by ebay, we would not have marketplaces like Airbnb. Brian is also the host of The Internet History Podcast and the Techmeme Ride Home podcast. In The Internet History Podcast, Brian interviews entrepreneurs and engineers who were firsthand witnesses to the developments that led to our modern Internet, including early employees at Amazon, Tesla, and TheGlobe.com. In his other podcast, the Techmeme Ride Home, Brian gives a daily overview of the day’s Internet news. Through his podcasts about the Internet’s past and present, Brian has also accumulated an intuition about the future. He joins the show to discuss his book, the art of podcasting, and the historical lessons of technology.
