Note to our audience: Wired News Radio is intended as a bonus for Wired News regulars who want to take a break from reading. We are told that netizens whose capabilities do not include sight also appreciate it. We realize that audio is not convenient for people who experience the Web exclusively with their eyes, and we regret that we do not have the resources to provide transcripts of the shows.
