Sam ID’s himself, others wish to remain Anonymous

Three Guy Fawkes (Color)

Greetings 99th Percentile!  My name is Sam Greenspan (Ed note: See photo, center background. Not really.), and I’m the new guy helping out with the show.  I’ll be contributing to the blog, occasionally telling stories on the show, and pulling all kinds of levers and knobs behind the scenes. 

Roman is hard at work putting together this Friday’s episode—the story of how the Anonymous movement came to be known by the Guy Fawkes mask.  (And trust me, it’s not what you think.)

To tide you over til then, check out this story that Carrie Kahn reported for NPR earlier this week about the Occupy movement’s use of the “people’s mic.” Even though the people’s mic was born out of a need—loudspeakers were banned in Zucotti Park—the Occupy protestors are finding that this call-and-response form of decision-making has become emblematic of their ideals.

What stories have you heard in the news that deal with design?  Let us know!

"Roman Mars lights the radio. His pieces conjure other worlds, grapple with big ideas, make sound three dimensional. They are smart and funny and original. The Kitchen Sisters would like to be Presidents of his Fan Club. "
-The Kitchen Sisters, Peabody Award-winning producers for NPR

"We think what he’s doing is inspiring. It has a kind of rhythm and musicality that you don’t normally find in radio or podcast storytelling."
-Jad Abumrad, Radiolab

"I love the show. It's wonderful. [It] actually reminded me of why I love radio."
-Jonathan Goldstein, CBC's WireTap

"Mars may be on his way to becoming the Ira Glass of design."
-Allison Arieff, The Atlantic Cities

More very very very very very very very cool people saying nice things about the show.
