The latest EconTalk is a conversation with Paul Graham. Graham sees a similarity between hackers and painters (and writers and craftsmen). They all make stuff.

He also has lot of interesting things to say about start-ups, innovation, urban development, Cezanne, high school, and the next big thing.
