He&#8217;s written a slew of books that defy categories. He writes science fiction, young adult novels and non-fiction works on today&#8217;s topic and more. You can find his bio and info on his books at <a href=\"http:\/\/Craphound.com\">Craphound.com<\/a>. And get his daily blog at <a href=\"http:\/\/Pluralistic.net\">Pluralistic.net<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The subject he writes a lot about and the one that we discussed today is the issue of monopolies and anti-trust. <\/p>\n<p>We actually began this conversation <a href=\"https:\/\/nicolesandler.com\/6-10-21\/\">in June, the first time he appeared on my show<\/a>. As I usually do, I booked him for a half hour. Well, that wasn&#8217;t nearly enough. So as the interview wound down, I invited him back, and we set a date for the next month.  Our timing was fortuitous. <\/p>\n<p>During that first interview, Cory broke what was news to me, saying that a package of antitrust legislation was working its way through Congress, and we&#8217;d soon be hearing about it. Sure enough, the following week, we heard about the House Judiciary Committee marking up that package of bills!<\/p>\n<p>Then, on the Friday before we were scheduled for our second interview, President Biden announced a massive Executive Order containing 72 provisions encouraging competition, and taking aim at the monopolies that are strangling the nation. <\/p>\n<p>It was a fascinating hour that I&#8217;m thrilled to share with you here on <I>The BradCast<\/I>!&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\".\/Images\/Speaker_Icon_24.png\" style=\"width: 24px; float: none; vertical-align: middle;\"><span style=\"font-size: 18px; line-height: 18px;\"> <b><i><a href=\"https:\/\/BradBlog.com\/audio\/ BradCast_NicoleSandler_CoryDoctorow_antitrust_072321.mp3\">CLICK TO LISTEN OR DOWNLOAD SHOW!&#8230;<\/a><\/i><\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><center><b>* * *<\/b><\/center><i>While we post <a href=\"https:\/\/BradBlog.com\/BradCast\"><\/i>The BradCast<i><\/a> here every day, and you can hear it across all of our great affiliate stations and websites, to automagically get new episodes as soon as they&#8217;re available sent right to your computer or personal device, subscribe for free at <a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/the-bradcast-w-brad-friedman\/id803467610\">iTunes<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pandora.com\/podcast\/the-bradcast-w-brad-friedman\/PC:1000025838\">Pandora<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/tunein.com\/radio\/The-BradCast-with-Brad-Friedman-p477565\/\">TuneIn<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.google.com\/feed\/aHR0cHM6Ly9icmFkYmxvZy5jb20vcG9kY2FzdGdlbi9icmFkY2FzdC9mZWVkLnhtbA\">Google<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/The-BradCast-w-Brad-Friedman\/dp\/B08JJRN86R\/ref=sr_1_1\">Amazon<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/bradblog.com\/podcastgen\/bradcast\/feed.xml\">our native RSS feed<\/a>!<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s NICOLE SANDLER , back once again to guest host the BradCast.
