In this penultimate episode of Season 1 of "Keyboard and Quill," hosts Tim Berglund and Rachel Pedreschi delve into the world of Apache Kafka, the invisible data powerhouse behind many of the apps we use daily like LinkedIn, Uber, and DoorDash. They take us back to 2010, a pivotal year when the internet became more than just a convenience—it became a staple of daily life, with more and more homes connected to broadband and smartphones becoming increasingly prevalent. This technological surge set the stage for innovations like ride-sharing and meal delivery services, which rely on constant data streams to function smoothly. Our hosts discuss how Kafka, initially developed within the walls of LinkedIn, has grown to be central to the operations of numerous companies large and small, managing the flow of data with unprecedented efficiency. This episode not only highlights the technical breakthroughs but also contextualizes them within the broader narrative of digital acceleration, making us ponder how such innovations continue to reshape our interactions and expectations in a world that moves faster by the day.

Why do nearly all stores have a loyalty program? Are they really just seeking loyalty, or is it a key aspect of how they’re using analytics to improve their business? In this episode of Keyboard and Quill, hosts Tim Berglund and Rachel Pedreschi explore the evolution of early data analytics. They trace its development from early statistics concepts to Florence Nightingale's pioneering work in healthcare to Ronald Fisher’s foundational null hypothesis and randomized controlled trials (despite his deplorable role in history as a eugenicist) to John Tukey’s advocacy for exploratory data analysis. Through it all, we see how various threads contributed to the methods and practices underlying today's data-driven decision making.

Ever wonder how we went from computation by hand to the complex and powerful computers, data centers, and cloud of today? In this episode of "Keyboard and Quill," hosts Tim Berglund and Rachel Pedreschi embark on part 1 (of 2) of a digital odyssey to trace the evolution of computing from its mechanical beginnings to the mainframes of the 1970s. We’ll explore historical milestones like Charles Babbage’s ambitious Difference Engine, through to the revolutionary advent of IBM’s mainframes, and the game-changing introduction of ARPANET and the early internet. Our journey doesn’t just look at hardware; it dives into the societal transformations driven by these technologies—how they’ve reshaped the way we work, communicate, and even think. Join us as we uncover how these technological leaps have fundamentally altered our digital landscape.

Isn’t it amazing that with just a few taps on your phone you can get a healthy, hot, delicious, multicultural meal prepared and delivered to your doorstep, all in less than an hour? And you can even track it, in real time, every step of the way. But how did we get here? And how are our eating habits changing as a result? In this episode of Keyboard and Quill, we journey through 250 years of history with Tim Berglund and Rachel Pedreschi as they explore how food preparation, consumption, and delivery have evolved from the first known food deliveries in Asia to the dawn of Domino’s Pizza in the 1960s to the global boom of real-time delivery apps like DoorDash, UberEats, and JustEat Takeaway.

Shifting into a faster gear from our last episode, Tim Berglund and Rachel Pedreschi continue investigating how humans have hitched rides from each other over the last 250 years. From hailing hackney coaches on filthy mud streets to boarding trams to hitchhiking with your thumb out to hailing taxis to using ride-sharing apps like Uber and Lyft to a possible future of self-driving cars, this is a story of land travel, communication, and cartography.

Let’s travel back in time to explore the ways humans got around together (on land) from prehistoric times to the first taxis in the late 1800s. Tim Berglund and Rachel Pedreschi begin this excavation of transportation history where it all started: with our own two feet. With the development of trade and cities, the hunter-gatherer mode of movement was inadequate for a species that needed to expand and travel. From the invention of roads to the primitive sleds known as travois to the all-important wheel to horse-drawn carriages to railroads and the first taxis, human civilization has come a long, long way in how we hitch a ride.
