Hi friends we've got something extra for you today as part of our

Radiotopia fundraiser that's going on right now you can join the Radiotopia

community and support the Kitchen Sisters present and all of your favorite

shows in this beautiful network by going to Radiotopia. FM right now.

And while you're doing that, here's a little gift from us. A special radiotopia

hear the world differently bonus feature from our Keeper's series, stories about activist archivists,

rogue librarians, curators, historians, keepers of the culture and the cultures they keep. I was very excited when I found out you were doing an archivist series.

It was a part of me going, oh I hope they pick me.

I fell into this 19th century petticoats and fans thing of like oh I should be a part of that

party but it's so rude to invite myself I don't want to be like, hello, I can't help but notice my invite's not in the

mail. I felt I want to be part of this.

My name's Jason Scott. I'm the Free Range Archivist at the Internet Archive. I'm also the software curator.

If you're doing a series of stories called The Keepers, caring about guardians of history, large and small,

and protectors of the free flow of information and ideas.

The first place you're going to go is the Internet Archive in San Francisco.

Brewster Kale founded it and they are preserving and protecting everything that's ever

been on the web.

Fridays, the Internet Archive hosts a lunch.

When they heard we were doing the Keepers,

we were invited to this lunch.

I went to Brewster to try and get the interview and Brewster kind of deflected and said,

see that guy lurking in the corner over there?
