About this project
Resources
This is an attempt to collect talker-related resources that might get missed on a casual web search.
This sort of page used to be called "bookmarks", or "useful links" back in the day. Nobody used to read them then, either.
API
If you want a list of active talkers in JSON format, you can get it from /api/active-talkers. This may or may not be particularly up-to-date.
If you want the raw data for all the talkers, look in the talkers.json file in the repository.
Helping out
This is work in progress.
A lot of links are from the Wayback Machine or my own memory. A lot of info might simply be wrong.
If you have a correction to any of the info here, want something removed or updated... or you know about a talker I've missed, I'd love to hear from you.
Drop me a line at ben@moopet.net or raise an issue on the GitHub repository.
