Summary

Since they were Stanford grad students, Larry Page and Sergey Brin have had big ideas for technologies that could change the world.

This is the story of two moonshots, and the world we might live in someday. Hosts: Shirin Ghaffary (@shiringhaffary) and Alex Kantrowitz (@kantrowitz) Enjoyed this episode?
