History of Computing/Technology podcasts?
by Ted Pedersen 01 Feb '22

01 Feb '22

Greetings all, I'm teaching a class where I'm asking students to create podcasts on topics from the History of Computing and Technology. This is new terrain for most of them, so I want to give them some example podcasts, and I also enjoy listening to these so there is some self interest at work here as well. The students are undergraduate CS majors, so more technical content is fine and perhaps even desirable. The following are podcasts that I'm aware of that seem relevant to this, and I am just wondering what else might be available that anyone would recommend. - History of Computing Podcast <https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fthehistoryofcomputing.net%2F&sa=…> - Bitwise Podcast <https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bitwisepodcast.com%2F&sa=D&s…> - Retro Computing Roundtable <http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Frcrpodcast.com%2F&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=…> - Advent of Computing <https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fadventofcomputing.com%2F&sa=D&sn…> - Computing Britain <https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bbc.co.uk%2Fprogrammes%2Fb06…> - ? Thank you! Ted --- Dr. Ted Pedersen http://www.d.umn.edu/~tpederse UEA-A Member : https://sites.google.com/d.umn.edu/ueaumd

Dear SIGCIS community, I hope everyone is doing well. Here is the call for book reviews, Winter 2022 Edition <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1yDEjJvJko_a0s60ydsEgg9-8MAy5O02iGZkZNhW…> ! Please let me know if you would be interested in publishing a book review with IEEE.

Additionally, please do let me know if you have a forthcoming book in 2022-2023. I would like to help promote and celebrate your work as it comes out! Thank you, Theodora *Beyond books, reviews can include art and technology, archives, and other media related to the history of computing. We are open for proposals on new content and approaches for review and engagement. -- Theodora Dryer, Ph.D. she/her https://www.theodoradryer.com/ Water Justice + Technology <https://ainowinstitute.org/water-justice-technology.pdf.> @AI Now Institute and @CIEJ Big Data Stream <https://logicmag.io/kids/big-data-stream/>@Logic Magazine
