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

In this episode, we talk about the new Amazon headquarters, technology companies as monopolies (and versus democracies), and the ongoing fights to protect "net neutrality."

Here are the stories we referenced:

• "This City Hall, brought to you by Amazon" via The Seattle Times
• "Network Neutrality Can't Fix the Internet" by Ian Bogost

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