Happy to see this mentioned here. RantMedia basically invented the whole idea of podcasts before the term even existed and they played a major role in establishing the hacker sub-culture. AFAIK their online radio ran basically non-stop for 20 years until 2019.

Patrolling with Sean Kennedy (both seasons) is on archive.org and still worth a watch today. Some of his tips are still applicable, (to this day I still go by his sanitize your products, you're not getting paid to promote a brand) and the rest just makes you sad, seeing how things changed over the decades.

Sometimes I wonder where the fucking man ended up. I know he wrote a few books but basically disappeared from the internet in the 2010s.
