Oh, So, Welcome to the Internet History Podcast. I'm your host, Brian McCullough. Some of you know I took a quick trip out to San Francisco last week to grab a couple

great interviews and this is the first of those. Most of you know Jason Callicanus

from as many high-profile endeavors such as his podcast, especially this week in

startups, where actually he hosted us in his studio for this conversation, his launch conference

and inside.com and many other things but older

listeners will remember Jason as one of the most colorful personalities of the

dot com era in New York as the publisher of Silicon Alley Reporter.

And Jason also played a key role in forming the modern media landscape as the founder of

Weblogs, Inc.

we talk about all of that and much, much more, including how he's such a nice guy these days, in this

fantastic conversation with Jason Callicanus.

Jason Callicanus, thanks for coming on the Internet History Podcast.

It is a pleasure to finally be on.

You've done 150 episodes.

120.

Or you're 120, I guess I'm 120. I guess I'm 120. So were you either didn't know who I was or did so many people mention me that I'm on or did you want to warm up your interview skills for the first

hundred with people who are not important? I am a one-man band. Ah, so I take them as

they come. Got it. All right. So I can't of course. Right, right, right. But you know

what I just want to tell you it's really good I I

listened to three or four episodes oh cool absolutely fantastic my favorite was

Joel from gizmodo talking about how I gave him PTSD. Right, I remember, yeah.

That was absolutely fantastic.
