Music: Marconi Union: A Lost Connection (2008)

For a special interterm course my friend and co-author Mirko Hall recently taught in Iceland. The class was a cultural/critical studies approach to understanding the iPod. A friend and student of Mirko "facebooked" me and said the class went quite well and created lots of buzz. Iceland's equivalent of NPR interviewed Mirko for a program that was broadcast nationally, which I've uploaded here. Don't worry, Mirko's responses are in English, and they start about a fourth way into the file. You can also read a gloss of our essay "Stick it In Your Ear: The Psychodynamics of iPod Enjoyment" by surfing this current.
