I had heard Fleishman on Mule Radio recently. You covered very similar topics–to some extent. While it is interesting content, the rehash was boring.
As a Radio-Shack educated programmer myself I liked the beginning of this podcast episode! I remember the hours and hours in front of TRS-80 model 1′s, the CoCo (ColorComputer) and later model 3, 16 and 2000. In those days the Tandy/Radio Shack store directors really knew what they were talking about, many of these guys were programmers from the supercomputer arena.
