Today on the show we have serial entrepreneur Nicholas Mendiharat, who is the founder of Palate Club, which is a start-up that is aiming to demystify the world of wine, using artificial intelligence and blind taste tests to build customers taste profiles.

This is a hugely interesting business model with massive potential. There's so much to explore in this episode, as we dive into using data science to first define taste and then choose wines that match.

Today we are joined by William Adams. Spoiler alert, we've already spoken to him - and wow is this guy a hidden gem. William has probably invented, popularised and then forgotten more than I will ever know about technology. We'll take a tour through his career highlights and boy are there some highlights - and we'll talk about his work as technical advisor to the CTO at Microsoft and founder of the LEAP apprenticeship programme aiming to boost global diversity in technology.

Today's show is going to be a bit unusual, as our guest's day job is not tech. in fact, today's show is going to be a bit meta as we're joined by Angie - The host of the podcast "Too old for shit" to talk all about starting a podcast as we're "pulling back the curtain", to use the words from her website learnpodcasting.online where she teaches people how to get started in podcasting and how to not be daunted by the technology.

On the show today, as part of our Norwegian Techie series, we have another great Norwegian techie Magnar Sveen. You might know Magnar as the "emacs rocks guy" - and you can find his content at emacsrocks.com where he has been hosting webcasts on tips and tricks of emacs since 2011. But that's not all, he's a big fan of functional programming in particular Clojure and Clojure script and on his other site Parens of the Dead, you'll find screencasts that will teach you how to build a zombie game with functional programming. So we'll get into all of that, expect plenty of talk about text editors and functional programming.

Rakesh and Chris met back in 2013 when we worked together at Tesco. I was fresh out of Amazon at the time and maybe a bit brash, young, egotistical and opinionated back then... as if I've changed in any way other than getting older... so initially, I think rubbed him up the wrong way, but over the next 18months I think at the very least we developed a mutual respect, enough that he'd accept our invitation to join us as a guest on the show. And I'm so glad because he's a really smart guy and maybe the only person I know with code running in space.

So we'll try and get into that, but also what he's been doing since we last spoke at Tesco as he's now left the UK and gone back to India to serve as CTO for Publicis Sapient via a stint at Amazon.
