info_outlineHey friends, so sadly I’ve been fairly ill the last week or so. I’ve been completely unable to record as my voice is wrecked. But I don’t want to leave you hanging so I’ve gone back to the archives and pulled this popular boring episode out of May 2021.
I’ve decided to take this opportunity to reset how I do the podcast, so for the rest of September I will be digging in the archives as I start to do some pre-emptive recording so that I don’t get caught unawares and unprepared in the future.
For this gem from the archive we are returning to learn about historical inventions that changed society. This one is mostly about different developments in the printing industry and is rather interesting.
