Byte High no Limit

"We were the first people in the World to do this sort of thing..."

Graham Norwood.

Graham is a prolific travel writer and Formula One fan, but before all of this he cut his journalistic teeth at BBC Ceefax.

Graham recalls the stories and events that the service reported on and conveyed to the public in it's unique way.

There is also a rare insight into how some Ceefax staff felt in the food-chain of BBC journalists. Were these fair observations?

Listen and share your thoughts...

Previous Episode

Phone Phreaking w/Patrick & Cody

In this episode we enjoy the recollections of Patrick, @cgnfridays and Cody, @pranfunkels as they discus hacks and tricks to get free calls on phone systems like their hero, Matt Broderick and try not to get caught... with varying consequences.

They explain what innocent, inquisitive kids can get up to with telephones and how they took over voice mail systems to create a BBS without the knowledge that the US Hacker community were already at it too!
