The Life and Times of Richard "Lowtax" Kyanka (Part One) (with Robert Evans)
Manage episode 494715493 series 3428559
We've been holding off on covering the founder of Something Awful, but with Winslow's Kickstarter in full swing it's the perfect time to rip off that bandage! We'll have some more focused narrative episodes featuring Lowtax in the future, but for now we're introducing the man with a classic chronological biography. We begin with the rise of a Vanderbilt engineering dropout into an outsized figure of power and influence on the early internet, back when messengers used numbers instead of usernames and 56k warnings were in style.
This week we are joined by combat journalism expert Robert Evans, host of the podcasts Behind the Bastards and It Could Happen Here.
