Welcome to The Georgia Politics Podcast and Part 4 of our series on the 50th anniversary of 1975. On today's episode we are headed to New Mexico where two young programmers announce their upstart new company – Microsoft.
When Bill Gates and Paul Allen launched a small software company in Albuquerque, they had no idea they were igniting a revolution that would reshape not just technology—but economics, education, and even politics.
We unpack how the founding of Microsoft reflected a broader shift in American innovation and ambition during the mid-70s. How did a startup on the edge of the desert signal a shift in power—from Washington and Wall Street to Silicon Valley and the world of code?
Join us as we connect the dots in a story of software, vision, and seismic change.
