Stilgherrian is a freelance journalist and commentator who covers the politics of the internet and the way it’s changing power relationships at every level of society. He’s particularly interested in internet policy, cybersecurity, privacy, cybercrime and hoovering up bulldust. But that’s far from all he’s interested in.
He writes a weekly newsletter titled The Weekly Cybers, a personal look at what the Australian government has been saying and doing in the digital and cyber realms, on various adjacent topics, and whatever else interests him.
He also makes terrible podcasts about politics, international affairs, and other topics, in particular The 9pm Edict and Another Untitled Music Podcast.
You can hire him to help you make your own podcasts. Or he can help you write and stuff.
