Listen "Words for Conviviality, with Jeffrey Bilbro"
Episode Synopsis
                            The digital age isn't that new, argues Jeff Bilbro in his latest book, Words for Conviviality: Media Technologies and Practices of Hope. In this episode of What Would Jesus Tech, we ask him about the book, its thesis, the value of metaphors, the potential pushback from Barba-Kay, how the printed word is not necessarily the more moral medium and more.0:00 - Intro5:15 - Print to Digital Thesis13:30 - Media Metaphors22:50 - Walking31:21 - Is Digital Different?36:09 - Not Nostalgia.
