# ‘Hello (And Goodbye) To Project Dirtbag’, with Joe Matheny and Eric Barch

![](https://i0.wp.com/josephmatheny.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/cm-listen-icon_0.png?ssl=1)
 In this special episode, we bring together STEAL THIS SHOW Patreon supporters Eric Barch and Joe Matheny to discuss a wide range of topics from filter bubbles and Jamie’s ‘bubble swapping’ concept, Joe’s attempts to create a standard for handling personal data online way back in the 90s, and the results of our mysterious, short-lived Tor spying experiment, Project Dirtbag. Project Dirtbag might have died a quick death, but the Patreon specials will live on!
