History is something that can help to learn from decisions others made ... - but that's not my primary motivation to listen to one of my favorite podcast; it is a side effect.
If you are also interested in retro technology and how things evolved, I strongly recommend "Stay Forever".
The new episodes are dedicated to the Texas Instruments TI-99/4A. They tell the storry of this device, how the TMS9900 CPU came into existence - and how the company culture, strategy and marketing influenced this storry.
As an engineer it was fascinating to learn what decisions lead to the TMS9900 CPU and it's special design. The storry is also a reminder that more than just the technical specs decide, if and how succsessfull a product (or service) will be.
