I was very excited to get to interview Cory Doctorow @pluralistic about one of my favorite books of his, _The Lost Cause_! When we chose the book several months ago, we didn't realize how much of it was going to resonate with current events in Minnesota.

@pluralistic side note, since Cory has guested on so many podcasts, I propose something similar to the Erdős number: anybody who has appeared on a show with him has a Doctorow number of 1. Anybody who has appeared on a show with any of those people have a Doctorow number of 2. Et cetera.

@ianrbuck
And by adding them up you get your Erdos-Bacon-Doctorow number up.

Quick, somebody call Natalie Portman!

@ianrbuck @pluralistic Is there a number for speaking onstage before or after Cory? (He’s always been so kind.)

@wendynather
I think there's some wiggle room there, for sure! Especially if you were both on one bill of speakers.
