Nikola Tesla. We discuss Tesla, his achievements, his rivals, & the many myths that surround him. Does he deserve greater credit than history has bestowed upon him thus far?

This isn't a deep examination of the man and his patents. This is a brief summary of his work, his quirks, & our take on his importance as an inventor.

Note: Interestingly enough, Aaron's podcasting setup was affected by something just before we began so backup equipment was used. For those curious about our recording methods, we are making improvements. A professional is advising us on ways to improve the sound. Hopefully by the end of February or early March you will all be pleased.
