Pod 5 Alan Turing The People that Time Forgot Podcast The people that time forgot podcast

Alan Turing had profound significance for the emerging science of computing. He lived in a hotbed of codebreakers who stopped Hitler in his tracks by hacking the Enigma code.  He is the father of AI.  He also had a theory about Monopoly.   He was fascinated by data patterns and algorithms and he was convinced that there was a code-based tactic to playing and winning.  If you have a mobile phone, you hold a piece of Alan in your hand. 

The people that time forgot is a weekly crusade podcast by Irish team Aisling Hurley and Niamh Quinn. Throughout history people have been written off, written out or just plain forgotten. Some of these people are pretty cool so we are righting this great wrong and documenting them here and we have a lot of fun while we're doing it. In normal life Aisling & Niamh are the team behind TBF (The Business Fairy) Digital Marketing Agency with Aisling being a writer and a frequent radio contributor and co-presenter. #TTFN #FIJDI Chat to us over on Twitter or Facebook @tbfcentral
