Selected as one of the top five podcasts in the American Bar Association’s Blawg 100 of 2008, Hearsay Culture focuses on technology and intellectual property law issues of interest to the legal community and to broader public audiences.

On Wednesday, October 28, Levine will celebrate Hearsay Culture’s 100th program with an interview with Google’s senior copyright counsel William Patry.

Other upcoming guests include Danielle Citron of the University of Maryland School of Law and Frank Pasquale of Seton Hall School of Law discussing Fusion Centers on November 4, Larry Downes, author of the forthcoming The Laws of Disruption, on November 11, and Geert Lovink, author of Zero Comments and co-editor of Open 13, scheduled for interview on November 18.

Over three years, Levine has interviewed many of the leading scholars, lawyers, and writers in the areas of technology, intellectual property and public life, including Richard Epstein of the University of Chicago Law School and the Hoover Institution, and Lawrence Lessig and Mark Lemley of Stanford Law School.

“I consider it part of my job as an educator to bring these significant issues involving intellectual property law and technology to a wide audience,” Levine says. “By booking great guests discussing fascinating topics, and having fun, my goal is that Hearsay Culture educates and entertains.”

David Levine joined the faculty of Elon University School of Law in the fall of 2009. He is a fellow at the Center for Internet and Society at Stanford Law School. Levine focuses his scholarship on the operation of intellectual property law at the intersection of technology and public life and intellectual property law’s impact on public transparency.
