S5, Ep5 Ada Lovelace: the Countess of Coding

 

Have you ever heard of Ada Lovelace? Or Augusta Ada Byron? Or the Countess of Lovelace, as she became?

Ada is credited with writing the first-ever computer program 100 years before the computer was even invented. She was also a brilliant mathematician and an aristocratic Victorian. 

We tell the remarkable true story of the daughter of the poet Lord Byron, a digital pioneer and the celebrated creator of the first computer algorithm.

And every time we play a computer game, or listen to a podcast, we are a part of her legacy.
