  • Summary

  • Y2K: it ended up being just another year. But there was a real fear that major computer systems would break down - and they may have had programmers not spent a decade trying to remedy the problem. Today on the penultimate episode of the season we ask the question “What if Y2K was as bad as many predicted?”

    Cody suggests that we don’t have to imagine; another Y2K-esque event is coming in the next 20 years. Colin is one of the many who believes it was way overblown from the beginning.


    Editing by Hannah Burkhardt

    Hosted by Alex Smith, Cody Sharp, and Colin Sharp.
