2600 radio tribute to Aaron Swartz

Emmanuel Goldstein from 2600 magazine sez, “We’ve gotten such a strong response to this and wanted to make sure anyone who knew Aaron – or who simply knew OF him – got a chance to hear the hour-long tribute from Wednesday’s ‘Off The Hook’ radio program in New York, a show he was a guest on only a few months ago. We played an excerpt of that, along with part of an incredible interview with Aaron at age 14 that underlines what a remarkable person he was. We also delved into the issue of depression in our community with excerpts from the ‘Geeks and Depression’ panel at HOPE Number Nine, and we had a roundtable discussion on what we can do better and where people at risk can turn. It’s part of a continuing conversation that we need to have in every conceivable forum.
