Great podcast this week.

You touched on something that fascinates me - the history of the printing press. It is amazing that the technology spread as quickly as it did.

A few years ago Stephen Fry presented a documentary called "The Machine That Made Us." I highly recommend it (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TiamVHT2Hz4). Besides being very entertaining it illustrates each step in the creation of Gutenberg's press and the various crafts needed to make it work.

Keep up the good work!
