 Hello, you're listening to Cut Pathways, a podcast produced by Carnegie Mellon University. I'm Katherine Barbera. And I'm Dave Brunabo. This podcast dives into the university's archive of recorded oral histories to showcase the people that have made Carnegie Mellon what it is. And for our second season of the podcast, we're exploring the history of computer science at CMU. It was a time of innovation where people were finding and pushing the limits of what computer science could be. It was truly a wild west of computing. And that's the title of season two, the Wild West of Computing. To say the least, it's a tough history to sum up in a few short episodes. And we should certainly say that we aren't computer scientists. Our focus will be on the culture and environment during these times. We'll look at the highlights from those years. Let's say 1956 to the mid-1980s, and provide as much context for the technological innovations as we can. Along the way, we will hear a bunch of weird sounds, fun stories. We used to have a cheese co-op. We created computer programs so that online you could order your cheese, and then they would go and pick up this huge amount of cheese, bring it back, and then there would be the cheese cutting party. And guest interviews with special collections curator Sam Lemley and historian Andrew Mead McGee. Thank you for listening to Cut Pathways.
