Episode 11: Jordan Wildon: Doing your own research


Listen Later

While Brent was off completing a side-quest, Ivor and Stars interviewed Jordan Wildon. As a true renaissance man, Jordan is a journalist, software engineer, and manager. He currently works as a manager for the Institute for Strategic Dialogue.

As a journalist, he helped break the #hartleaks story when he worked for logically.ai.
As a software engineer, he created the open source telegram tool Telepathy.
In this wide-ranging conversation the lads giggled about hartleaks & magnets, but spent most of the time discussing OSINT, disinformation, and the ups and downs of being involved in open source research.
