Deep Conversations
We help you reason through it.
Fallthrough is a long-form conversation about software, technology, computing, and the ideas that shape them.
Every episode starts with a handful of questions, but doesn't end where we began. We explore the systems behind software, the trade-offs behind the tools we use, and the assumptions that quietly shape technology. Along the way we wander through economics, language, design, open source, artificial intelligence, history, and whatever else helps us understand the question at hand.
We believe the best conversations are the ones that flow, not the ones that are scripted.
The world rewards certainty. We prefer reasoning.
Sometimes we start with provocative ideas, but we spend time testing and challenging them. We explore to see where they lead. By the end, you might agree or disagree, but you'll understand why we're asking the questions we are.
