About this listen

 This week’s episode is a little different. Our co-host Leslie D’Monte, who’s been making AI, science, and all the complicated technology easier to understand for you, is stepping down from Mint and from this podcast. A journalist who started with crime reporting. Filed stories on typewriters. Watched the Indian tech industry grow from floppy disks and getting your first email address cost ₹15,000 to AI that can build itself. He takes us through the days of Express Computer, Chip Magazine, ZDNet, the early internet in India, and that one time he walked into a basement lab in Boston to talk to a scientist building a robotic exoskeleton for human brains. Sounds interesting? It is. listen more about the time when NASSCOM was just finding its feet, IBM servers were big deal, and people were still wrapping their heads around something called HTML. GUIs and browsers had just arrived, JavaScript was going mainstream, and more. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
