       You might know Brewster Kahle as the founder of the Internet
       Archive.  However this interview took place long before that
       came into existance.  Nevertheless you can find seeds of the
       Archive in this episode.
       
       Carl Malamud interviews Brewster Kahle, the father of WAIS and the
       founder and president of WAIS, Inc. Brewster was a member of the AI
       Lab at MIT and went on to be one of the original researchers at
       Thinking Machines. In this interview, he discusses his vision of
       personal publishing, of a network of seamless libraries of
       information, and of his efforts to work with large and small
       information producers to get their data online. Brewster Kahle was
       recently named a member of the Internet Engineering Steering Group.
