I often talk with people about their ideas for new podcasts. Last year, I had one of those conversations in person with my pal Noah Glenn. He outlined an idea for a show that I fell in love with before listening to a single episode. The show is called Like You, and this is how he describes it:

Like You is a mindfulness podcast for kids, exploring feelings & encouraging self-esteem through imagination-based exercises. Subscribe to get a new episode every Tuesday. We created the podcast with kids in mind, but we welcome listeners of any age group, including parents, grandparents, or grown-ups who just want to get more in touch with themselves and their inner-child.

Today, I’m launching a new podcast with my much taller friend, Quinn Nelson of YouTube channel Snazzy Labs fame.

Flashback is a cumulation of our joint interest in why technology is the way that it is. This season on the podcast, we are looking at failed tech products to see what we can learn by studying their demises.

The first episode covers the Newton, Apple’s PDA product from the 1990s. Flashback will publish every other week, we have some wild tech stories in the works for future episodes.
