Episode Description

Episode 7: Joe Rosensteel

On this episode, we're joined by Joe Rosensteel. Joe is a VFX artist who's worked on big-name Hollywood productions as well as smaller commercial projects. He's a writer on his own blog and for the Six Colors website, and he also has a podcast with Dan Sturm called Defocused.

First, Last, Everything is a podcast exploring people's personal relationships with technology. In each episode, host Jonathan Reed gets to know a guest through three pieces of tech: their first inspiration, their last obsession, and the one that meant everything to them. From some software or a computer to a weird gadget or a first camera. Pretty much anything goes.

In addition, each episode features the 'Something' segment, a small dive into the past to talk about a piece of technology that you may not have heard of. Weird, ahead of its time, an abject failure or success, whatever it was, it was certainly… something.
