In spite of having the surname Therriault, I have only high school French, but this article would have been about the right time and publication for the Weizenbaum quote.

Wow. I did enjoy putting it together, but I did not expect 'on of my favourite of all time'. Thank you.
As a critique my own work, I think it feels like a bit of a sales piece on the company and the culture, although that it is an accurate account of what the participants were saying. I also wanted to show that the aggressive commodified start up culture that seems to have been adopted is not the only way to succeed in tech. I think that was the most important message that I was trying to get across.
Yes, we create written transcripts for those folks with diminished auditory capabilities because we think that it is important to be as accessible as possible. In fact many who do not have auditory challenges choose to read instead of listen. That is their choice.
My previous comment was directed to those who are in a position to have a choice in their media consumption and might not realize what they could be missing by reading the transcript.
Special thanks to Bob Bernecky and Whitney Smith for preserving this archival material and making it available to our podcast.
Although we do make the content available through text, as the editor of the episode I think there is a great benefit to hearing Dr. Iverson speak. The nuances of his humour and the warmth of his personality can not really be captured in text.
I was really impressed with how open Chris Krycho was about his struggles without playing the blame game. CoRecursive is one of my favorite podcasts because it explores the complex context behind the code.
Air Canada - We're not happy until you're not happy.
Our upcoming episode is an interview with Kai Schmidt, the creator of Uiua. It will be published this weekend. It turns out that Kai is a fan of the ArrayCast and it was his introduction into array programming.
My favorite episodes were Stevan Apter, Leslie Goldsmith, Lib Gibson, Rob Pike and Jeremy Howard. If you want to go deep into the concepts focus on the tacit episodes or the ones with John Earnest or Aaron Hsu. There are transcripts with each episode so you can always read if your time is that valuable.

Rob Pike, co-creator of the Go language and UTF-8, tells us why every programmer should know about the array languages.
Host: Conor Hoekstra
Panel: Marshall Lochbaum, Adám Brudzewsky, Stephen Taylor and Bob Therriault.
The conversation that we hear off the tape is only when the mic is keyed. There was probably a lot of discussion going on in the cockpit when the microphone was not live.
Thanks for mentioning Array Cast. We try to aim at an audience that might not be familiar with the array languages, but are interested in who uses them and how they work. We also have transcripts and extensive show notes for deeper dives into the material. We have a lot of fun recording it and I think that comes through.

All episodes of the Arraycast have both transcripts and extensive show notes for background information for those who may not be array programmers. The challenge of delivering knowledge via an audio format is real, but use of transcripts makes it much more accessible.
