– Never Post’s producers are Audrey Evans, Georgia Hampton and The Mysterious Dr. Firstname Lastname. Our senior producer is Hans Buetow. Our executive producer is Jason Oberholtzer. The show’s host is Mike Rugnetta. There is no promise like the present though the present’s not promise at all. The grifter flashes a glimmer like it was a sure thing. Clinging to these turns blindsides what’s before the eye, a fist behind dice. I want distraction even more than you, but both of us lost the duel when our seconds went missing. Excerpt of Against Hope By Charles Bernstein Never Post is a production of Charts & Leisure and is distributed by Radiotopia

Stephen Carlsen died in 2025. His family knew vaguely that he had worked on creating the file format TIFF, but it was his nephew, Nathan Carlsen, who kicked off a quest for the full story. This week, senior producer Hans Buetow talks with Nathan about his oral history project to document his uncle’s work, and we hear a fascinating conversation that Nathan had with Donovan Cameron, a First Nation GIS specialist who uses the TIFF in unexpected ways. – Become a Never Post member at https://www.neverpo.st/ for access to extended and bonus segments! –
