The From the home of the co-breakers and the birthplace of modern computing, this is the Bletchley Park podcast.

This is M.C. Fontaine, welcoming you to another Bletchley part podcast Extra.

This will be the first in a series of four extras, where we're going to bring you highlights from a series of talks that were given towards the end of last year called Code Breakers Legacy.

This first one is the highlights of the talk given by Professor Barry Cooper of Leeds University

Thank you very much. Some of the technical problems we were dealing with early on, it kind of reminded me that one thing that Bletchley Park embodies is the kind of alliance between

the abstract and the physical and different communities see computation in different ways. I guess the
