Joining me this week, from New York City, is software engineer, social commentator and podcast host, Carbon Mike.
There is a musical flavour to the first part of the show, as Mike talks about the thrill of first picking up a guitar, followed some years later by an ambitious project to build an entire recording studio at home.
Next, we talk about a brief change of career when work in the software industry dried up and Mike turned his hand to driving that iconic symbol of New York, the yellow taxi, for a year or so.
Turning to history, we look back at the motivations of some of the key players in the Peasant's Revolt of 1381. Was it all a protest against excessive taxation, as we've always been taught, or was there more to it? Finally, we round off with a discussion about the achievements of the great Victorian engineers, in an era which is now seen as problematic, by some.
