We used the latest episode of our "LoopCast" podcast to round up the results of the call for "diplomacy" essays here on Gather. Thanks to everyone for your thoughtful responses. We spend some time with essays from Kevin Weeks, Hannah Dreyma, Allen Staples, and George Coneliussen (click those links to read their submissions in-full).
To listen to the LoopCast, you can download the MP3 manually (right click that link and choose "save target as...") or stream the bad boy on your computer..
In this episode, we also hear from Lt. Connie Leaf, a hostage negotiator with the Minneapolis Police Department, about diplomacy in her line of work.
Thanks to everyone who answered our call and joined the experiment. I think it was a success, and we'll be back to Gather again for future ideas.
Did you all think the "call for essays" format was very effective? How could we do things differently in the future?
