- WHY WE USE ALL CAPS TO SHOUT, with Glenn Fleishman
1161. Today, we look at the history of writing in all-uppercase letters. Tech historian Glenn Fleishman explains how capitals transitioned from a sign of importance to a convention for shouting. Plus, we discuss his research tracking the association between yelling and capital letters back to 1856 and why early newspapers used all capitals to make tiny type seem larger.

- The Lasting Impressions in Lost Things with Glenn Fleishman
History is often written in bold type. We remember the wars, the inventions, the big cultural shifts that announce themselves with headlines. But Glenn Fleishman has been spending his time reminding us that the things history forgets—scraps of type, obsolete tools, obscure printing processes—are often the very things that shape us the most. They make up the invisible machinery of culture. Glenn’s career has been built on chasing down these overlooked artifacts and giving them back their dignity. He’s written for the New York Times and The Economist , produced deeply researched books like How Comics Were Made and Six Centuries of Type and Printing , and helped shepherd ambitious publication projects like Shift Happens , a 700-page cultural history of keyboards. Along the way, he’s become something unusual in the digital age: a historian of tactility, a man who believes that physical impressions—whether pressed into paper or cast in memory—endure in a way pixels never quite can. In our conversation, Glenn talks about his childhood hours with microfilm readers, his fascination with forgotten crafts, and his frustration at watching knowledge slip away. But what emerges most powerfully is the joy he takes in sharing. Glenn doesn’t guard his discoveries like relics; he builds communities around them, from Kickstarter campaigns to type museums small enough to fit in a breadbox. His chosen epitaph—which you’ll hear—is both pun and philosophy. Our legacies aren’t measured by what we keep, but by what we don’t let ourselves forget to pass on. Links & Notes Six Colors – ‘Help Me, Glenn!’ where Glenn writes regularly about Apple and technology. Take Control Books – Glenn has authored many. I don’t know how he stays so far ahead of this stuff. How Comics Were Made – (Kickstarter project, now a bookstore edition from Andrews McMeel Publishing under the title How Comics Are Made ). Six Centuries of Type and Printing – (Kickstarter book). Shift Happens – by Marcin Wichary, which Glenn helped bring to life. I haven’t finished because it is… in a word… extraordinarily comprehensive. Tiny Type Museum & Time Capsule – Glenn’s Kickstarter project creating a cabinet of printing artifacts. Blog (Glog) – Glenn Fleishman interrogates the past — a richly written blog where he explores the history of printing, comics, technology, crowdfunding, and forgotten tools. Bluesky Mastodon
