Riveting

Calm & captivating, Professor Isaacson is a perfect host for this concise and pertinent podcast.
Too much noise in that domain,
listen up to this one. Highest marks.

Idea

Trailblazers should do an episode on technology hacking history and how it’s evolved.

Superb and Informative

Par none this is the best Podcast ever. I learned a lot. As I listen to this podcast before going to bed every night I appreciate the cool voice of Walter Isaacson's story telling and well connected research to give a full picture. the music level is not very loud either as some podcasts do to disrupt our sleep. Thank you!

P.S where does this man find the time to do all that he does. 🙏
