Berkman Fellow Rebecca MacKinnon and radio producer Benjamen Walker put together this audio report about the Global Voices track of our conference last month, Votes, Bits & Bytes. The conference focused on how the internet has affected politics, and Global Voices in particular drew together bloggers from around the world to examine the effect of blogs on an international scale. Later this week, the Berkman Center will officially begin podcasting its audio features, including a new piece about the conference.
