Meet One of the OGs of Tech; The National Landmark 100 Feet Underground
This week, we’re bringing you an excerpt of the KQED podcast Close All Tabs, which features stories about how digital culture shapes our lives. Their new occasional series, OGs of Tech, looks beyond the billionaires to spotlight the often-overlooked innovators who helped build the digital world we live in today. One of these OGs is Felidoro Cueva, who grew up in a rural village in the Andes mountains of Peru, and immigrated to the U.S. in 1964, during the height of the Civil Rights Movement and the Vietnam War. He went on to become one of the first Latino engineers in Silicon Valley. His daughter – and Close All Tabs producer Maya Cueva – takes us through Feli’s journey: from counterculture experimentation to the discrimination he faced in a startup world where Latino representation was nearly nonexistent.
And we make another stop on our road trip series, Hidden Gems, which takes you to out-of-the-way spots across the state that aren’t your typical tourist destinations. Today we dig into our archives and visit Volcano, in Amador County, and head 100 feet underground into the Black Chasm Cavern with KQED’s Bianca Taylor.
