Episode Details

It's that time again! This special guest episode features the wonderful Scot Hacker, author of The BeOS Bible. We talk about the past, present and future in this great extended episode covering BeOS, photography and writing books.

Content warning: there are two very brief anecdotes that refer to extreme violence (in context), neither of which involved the guest or any of the co-hosts.
