Episode details

BASIC is a strange language. During the early days of home computing it was everywhere you looked, pretty every microcomputer ran BASIC. For a time it filled a niche almost perfectly, it was a useable language that anyone could learn. That didn't happen by accident. Today we are looking at the development of BASIC, how two mathematicians started a quest to expose more students to computers, and how their creation got away from them.
