This site LifeHacker has half-hearted criticism of Google, but the site itself uses Google analytics and the author uses Gmail. Other than the obvious, we turn it into an educational opportunity to have members of the community tell him all the choices there are to DeGoogle your life.

Who knows? It would be pretty cool if we got a response from the author, and it mentioned Monero.

Also, Monerotopia is once a week. I think there is room for someone to do another podcast, maybe not entirely dedicated to Monero, but something that is themed on privacy, yet rarely let's an episode pass when he/she does not mention Monero. Speaking of SHE. Where are all the WOMEN standing up for private digital cash? Is there something in their DNA that screams "I want to be your slave"? Oh, no, wait that must have come from last nights dream. Seriously though, why aren't more women speaking out about freedom. There's Mel K, Ann Vandersteel, and Sarah Westall, and Whitney Webb. all truth tellers, but never mention Monero. I personally would like to see Ann Vandersteel on an interview discussing Monero.

I think it's because finance in general is more a guy's conversation area. Put two arbitrary guys from anywhere in the world together and they'll talk about one of the following: sports/gaming, business/finance, technology, politics and family. XMR covers at least three of these. Women tend to have more social interests so finance (other than budgeting, where women dominate, even it hyper-traditional families) is a much smaller percentage of most women's conversation. It's not to say that privacy isn't important to women, but if you want a privacy podcast for women, it has to be more social. If you want a pro-privacy podcast for women, get the following women to start a group podcast: Naomi Brockwell (privacy), Janice McAfee (privacy money activist), Vanessa Harris (practical altcoins with strong support for privacy in crypto), and some women in the "Women Leading Privacy" organisations around the world. If you want such a podcast, reach out directly to these women, encourage others to do so, and pledge to support the podcast, either by spreading the world, or helping organise it, or day to day, or even through a donation (in XMR of course).
