- Truly Excellent
Digs into the technical aspects and nitty gritty without losing the layman….also manages to not waste too much time spoon feeding for narrative’s sake, just brief explainer for those unfamiliar and the narrative moves along. Great interviews, great podcast. Truly excellent.

There are way too many issues with this podcast's approach, and I won't try to list them all here. If you're into these topics, I'd recommend you to listen to it if you want to remind yourself how prejudice looks like.

Such a great podcast! Never knew the history behind the internet. Especially enjoyed the interviews with those individuals who are part of this history and can recollect with such detail.
Apple Podcasts5Carol@RIUnited States2 years ago - I highly recommend this podcast
This is a wonderful podcast. Growing up in the 1980’s and getting my first Radio Shack Tandy computer in 1990, I was amazed at how they could talk to each other and always wondered how that even got started. Over the years, of course I learned little snippets here and there about the invention of the internet, but nothing in such great detail as Christine explains it here. If you’re a computer geek like me, especially if you grew up in the 2000’s, I highly recommend you check out this podcast. I... more
