But I thought it would be neat to share it here.

Here's a ~12 min video of Leo Laporte talking with Cory Doctorow along with
Brianna Wu & Alex Wilhelm about BBSes and Fidonet:

Leo mentions that he ran a two node BBS back in the day which carried 
Fidonet.  It looks like Leo was 1:125/21 back in 1986 according to 
nodehist.fidonet.org.ua.

It was neat seeing my name come up at 3:35 when Leo shows the Fidonet 
nodelist... :)
