Hard News, Dirty Politics, & Civilized Propaganda
I am a broadcaster, journalist, and technologist infinitely curious about the impact of the Internet on media, politics, and technology.
Currently: I run a small media company from New York City called KoPoint. KoPoint creates and syndicates audio and video items to broadcast and web media.
I maintain a blog, interview cultural characters, contribute to the A New Domain technology website, and report from the UN and presidential campaign for talk radio stations.
A few thoughts on the first few weeks of producing KoPoint programs, via KoPoint Shows, Season One. KoPoint just accomplished one of our first major content-focused goals. We produce shows in...

As much as I employ the use of the social web, I don't often discuss my personal life. Today's a great day to make an exception.

KoPoint’s studio recording space on the border of Soho and Chinatown in Manhattan sits one floor above the space once-known as ‘Abby Road of Rap,’ Chung King Studios. In the 1980s the spacewas home to early incarnations of Def Jam and served as the audio laboratory for legends like Run DMC, Nas, The Beastie Boys, and LL Cool J. This episode of KoPoint – an excerpt from Stuart Tracte’s Beer Diplomacy EP 099 – producer and musician Frank Radice recounts a brief history of our recording space.
Stuart Tracte talks with media legend Frank Radice, and Andy Morris, Principal at The Morris + King Company.
In which our comic book panel featuring Jeff Newelt, Jon Lazar, and Dan Patterson discuss two completely antithetical topics: the mainstream hit movie Avengers and the indie comic book convention MoCCA.
The KoPoint Political Explainer returns as Creepy Sleepy to discuss ‘Silly Season,’ the summer before the political conventions. Our legendary duo Doc and Dan are joined in conversation with journalist and former CIA officer Jack Rice to revive the Institution of Creepy Sleepy, and hybridize it with the KoPoint Political Explainer to produce yet another incarnation of the long loved and long missed classic series. The trio discuss the nomination of Mitt Romney and the impact of the economy on the election.
Shownotes and a Minecraft image gallery: http://kpnt.co/J9fTvk
In this episode of the KoPoint Minecraft Project, Doc and Dan discuss exploration, where to go and more importantly, how to get back.
We cover the basics of how to find out where you are in the world through the use of F3 and the coordinate system, making sure you know where your base is, how to get lost and how to find your way back. Through the clever use of lit towers and strategically placed torches, you should never feel lost.
