# 2018-08-05 15:00:51.766092 UTC (+0000) Bitreich On Radio, radio x I am citing the e-mail I sent to the gopher mailinglist: --- Greeting comrades, today I had a nice talk with radio-x[0], which is a local radio in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. It was for the abs-magazine[1]. We were talking about Gopher, why it matters, why it is needed as alternative to the Web, that there is a growth in Gopher, that there will be brcon next weekend and we will talk about gopher, what are the clients for gopher. Then we got to why gopher is so interesting in combination with tor, why gopher saves resources, why gopher is part of the topic of reusability of tools, parts and repairability. We talked about federated alternatives, like mastodon, searx and that there are gopher interfaces for it. For alternative protocols we showed why IRC is still relevant and how to use it. As side note I showed our global goal to make things simpler and add fun to everything again. I hope you enjoy it! I had fun at it! :) The talk is due to be aired on 2018-08-08. After that all recordings will be visible. The talk was held in German, so maybe the live talk is only interest- ing for people who understand German. I am planning a transcription to English, for bitreich.org. incerely, Christoph Lohmann [0] http://www.radiox.de/ [1] http://absmagazin.de/ --- Have fun!
