What this episode covers

Jenny List, a contributing editor at Hackaday and former 'tame geek' at Oxford University Press, discusses her unique career path from computational linguistics to hardware journalism. She details the rigorous editorial process at Hackaday, the definition of a 'hack' rooted in MIT's Tech Model Railroad Club, and the relentless nature of digital publishing. List also provides a deep dive into her research debunking 'drone hysteria' surrounding airport incidents at Gatwick and Heathrow, arguing for higher standards of evidence in such reports.
