- EXTRA STORY: The decade (1999-2009) in review, in review!
We take a journey down memory street to a podcast Ian and I recorded 10 years ago this week and see how things have changed. We spent the episode trying to decide what the tech of the decade was, so we’re going to listen to some clips and see if we’d still put these technologies in our list one decade hence. You’ll hear two other voices on occasion, a man called Rory Reid, now at the BBC of course, and Flora Graham, who went on to do great things at New Scientist and the journal Nature.
- The appearance of Robin, the Tech’s Message cat, who has a Christmas message for us
