Ep. #235 - What If We Reviewed Our Own Podcast? Mar 01, 2022

Show notes

Last January, we recorded an episode about a weird movie called Quantum Quest: A Cassini Space Odyssey. We took it down after about a week because we decided to do a bigger project about it. That project turned into a podcast called Finding Quantum Quest. Now, more than a year later, we look back at that original episode to see what we got right, what we got wrong, and where we just missed the mark completely.

Note: This episode contains TONS of spoilers for Finding Quantum Quest. If you haven't listened to Finding Quantum Quest yet, but intend to, make sure to do that first.

Ep. #231 - What If You Dug A Tunnel? Feb 01, 2022

Some people just gotta dig!

Seymour Cray dug tunnels so the elves could finish his coding. William Lyttle said of his tunneling "there is great beauty in inventing things that serve no purpose". Elton McDonald was "getting away from regular things, away from life. Nothing in particular. Just life itself.”
