Tech it or leave it: what is the best technology?
The bed, writing, antibiotics? In this podcast we ask: how do we define technology, and can we objectively measure the best of it? We take a look at potential metrics - from the number of people who benefit to quantifying the overall happiness created - and wonder whether the best is yet to come.
A few things we mentioned in this podcast:
- Estimates of historical world population https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estimates_of_historical_world_population
- Timeline of inventions https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_historic_inventions
- The philosophy of intellectual property https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/intellectual-property/

The missing link: why are we fascinated by lost media?
From Celebrity Number Six to the original Backrooms photo, Love's Labours Won to absent Doctor Who episodes: what is it about lost media that intrigues and inspires us? In this podcast, we discuss the neurological itch that solving such mysteries can scratch, and how any media - in the age of the internet - is at risk of vanishing.
