Notes from the Electronic Cottage 9/2/21: Summer Encore 6 – No Reasonable Person

Producer/Host: Jim Campbell

Do you consider yourself a “reasonable person”? If so, you may have a very different sense of what that term means than, say, lawyers like Sidney Powell – or to companies like Apple, Amazon, or Google. All of those entities are facing lawsuits and their defenses are based on the fact that “no reasonable person” would actually believe what they have said. See what you think.

About the host:
Jim Campbell has a longstanding interest in the intersection of digital technology, law, and public policy and how they affect our daily lives in our increasingly digital world. He has banged around non-commercial radio for decades and, in the little known facts department (that should probably stay that way), he was one of the readers voicing Richard Nixon’s words when NPR broadcast the entire transcript of the Watergate tapes. Like several other current WERU volunteers, he was at the station’s sign-on party on May 1, 1988 and has been a volunteer ever since doing an early stint as a Morning Maine host, and later producing WERU program series including Northern Lights, Conversations on Science and Society, Sound Portrait of the Artist, Selections from the Camden Conference, others that will probably come to him after this is is posted, and, of course, Notes from the Electronic Cottage.
