About this listen

 I'm back with another history lesson, and today I devote the entire episode to Alan Turing. His brilliant mind helped outsmart the Nazis during World War II and his developments in computer science paved the way for every electronic device that we use today. Sadly, Alan's life took a devastating turn when he was publicly outed and persecuted for being gay.
