How We Built the Internet
A podcast about the past, present, and future of the internet.
Shared history. Shared mistakes. Shared genius.
No one person built the internet.
It was imagined, written, debated – and lived.
The internet belongs to all of us.
Today, anyone can publish anything with ease, and we use the internet without really thinking about it. This podcast gives us a chance to pause – to reflect, and truly understand the online world we live in.
Each episode zooms in on a single moment in internet history, and traces how it changed what came next. We begin with a source – a book, a memo, an idea – and follow where it leads. We’ll pull out lessons along the way, and you can take what you need.
By listening, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of how the internet was imagined, built, broken, and rebuilt. You’ll see how it evolved – and why that matters.
You don’t need to be a tech expert.
This isn’t a podcast for purely insiders. It’s for anyone curious about the internet – how it came to be, how it works, and how it could be better.
Whether you’re a builder, a thinker, or simply someone who wants to see technology in a new way – you’re welcome here.
