Episode 195 of the awesome tech podcast This Week In Tech had a fantastic bit of bonus content tacked on to the end of it this week. Leo Laporte was lucky enough to grab Stephen Wolfram – creator of the Wolfram Alpha Computational Knowledge Engine – for a 30 minute interview.
Stephen gives a fantastic explanation of the project and what he hopes to achieve with it. Basically, he wants to make all of the world’s knowledge computatable.
You can download the episode as an mp3 or read the text transcript. If you don’t want to listen to the whole podcast (you should, it’s great) then jump forward to the last 30-40 minutes.

Nice work with the TWiT callout, remains one of my favourite podcasts.
The interview was just fantastic.
