O'REILLY HARDWARE PODCAST
Sometime during our travels curating SOLID, Jon Bruner and I began recording the Hardware podcast in order to make an effort to preserve some of the fascinating conversations we had while discussing the Current State of Things with the network of people who began to gather around the conference.
Over the course of more than 35 episodes, we recorded conversations with a broad range of startup founders, scientists, venture capitalists, artists, hackers, and large company executives discussing their take on what is exciting about building things in the physical world.
