Out of the Cardboard Suitcase Ivan Berg

Next instalment of Ivan Berg’s podcast memoir: learning new skills, becoming Top Gear Magazine’s resident 'datadad' and creating the very first BBC website. 

The E-Bike is invented 35 years too early, Inge is in the News Of The World, and Mellie writes a Punk Rock hit. There's jazz at Pizza Express, Ivan records Xaviera Hollander (The Happy Hooker), and does a deal with Robert Maxwell ...

Ivan has fun recording ABBA in Hindi, is first in the field with home and educational software for Commodore Computers and is too early again, with 'Singing Birthday Cards'

Ivan Berg's podcast memoir Episode 16 : Too far ahead for The Times ? (and ATV too) Ivan and Inge's next round of business ventures: audio on demand, 1970s style - a brief foray into the world of art, and how Colonel Gaddafi saved the company. 

 Ivan is fired again ... but undaunted moves into new ventures - the music and recording studio business and a partnership with one of the country’s most powerful newspapers.

In which Ivan's business career takes inventive new directions ... he creates the 'Berg Box', designs and introduces the UK's first commercial slot car raceways, and more. He and Inge become parents, and on his first trip to Inge's homeland, he meets parents, brothers, sisters, aunts and cousins - none of whom speak English
