Topic: Silicon Alley

The New York tech scene, often called "Silicon Alley," hosts various initiatives like "In Good Company" and "Girls Who Code" at 28 West 23rd Street. These programs emphasize diversity, featuring stories of students from Senegal and Brooklyn learning to code in multiple languages. However, the heavy involvement of venture capital firms and advertising platforms like AppNexus suggests a commercial undercurrent to these social initiatives.

Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak conclude the episode, emphasizing their goal of keeping the show under 80 minutes for CD burning compatibility. They reiterate their commitment to analyzing sociology through news events and encourage listener support to increase show frequency. The hosts sign off from their respective locations in the San Francisco Bay Area, promising a return on Thursday.
