HEAT - AUGUST 1990

This is an episode of "Heat" with John Hockenberry that aired in August 1990 over WHAD in Milwaukee and other public radio stations. In it, I'm interviewed along with hacker Joey, lawyer Sheldon Zenner, and prosecutor Gail Thackeray. The main topic was the aftermath of Operation Sun Devil, the widespread clampdown by authorities that resulted in numerous raids and accusations of rights violations. It also helped inspire the founding of the Electronic Frontier Foundation. More of the show follows.
