0:00.0	Welcome to the Tech Policy Podcast, Remmen Schwarger.
0:05.8	On today's show, our bicentennial.
0:08.2	It's hard to believe, but this is our 200th episode since launching the Tech Policy
0:12.1	podcast in January of 2016.
0:14.7	So we're going to look back on the show.
0:16.8	What went well, what didn't.
0:18.8	Talk about our recent policy summit, fairly recently.
0:21.8	It was in July.
0:22.8	And what's going on in the world of tech policy and how we can heal some of the divides and the wounds that seem to be festering over a variety of issues, whether it's, you know, Russia's meddling in the election or net neutrality or cybersecurity or take your pick?
0:36.2	And there are a few better people to do a
0:38.1	grab bag of tech policy issues with than our executive director, Austin Carson's. Awesome. Thanks for
0:42.4	joining. Hey, thanks for having me. It's becoming a regular thing a little late. But it's exciting.
0:46.4	That's exciting that, yes, almost a year after hiring you, you're now coming on the podcast.
0:52.3	So, yeah, you know, just thank you to all of you who listened to the show, who help keep
0:57.1	us going.

1:00.7	I'd like to think of that as kind of tech freedom's coming out party, Tech Freedom 2.0.
1:04.7	And Austin, you know, how do you feel about all of the awesomeness that we do and just how
1:08.8	awesome we are?
1:09.5	Would you like to comment on how awesome we are? It feels wrong. It feels like I should call my mom and tag her in and be like,
1:13.9	just say this. This is fine. You're the only person that can do this without me blushing and feeling
1:17.6	like an asshole. Also, I'm sorry I finished the sentence that way. It was really unt, though. I mean, my mom listens to all the shows, too. And she's one of the only people that will give me honest feedback and be like, I didn't think that one was very interesting. That's what the people you love her for, right? Everyone else is always like, oh my God, it's just such a great show. I just love it. And I'm like, I'm not sure you're being honest. Right, right. My idiosyncrasies are like a glowing red light every time I listen to the show. And I understand that maybe it's fine, but don't lie to me.
