Welcome to the Contrafabulists podcast, Kin Lane and Audrey Watters' weekly discussion of the latest technology (and politics of technology) news.

In this episode, we discuss outsourcing infrastructure (to the Russians).

Here are the stories we referenced:

• "The Agency" by Adrian Chen
• " Towns sell their public water systems -- and come to regret it via The Washington Post
• "There's A Fight Brewing Between The NYPD And Silicon Valley's Palantir" via Buzzfeed

Feedback is welcome. (You should email Kin with it though, not Audrey.)
