Retrospect
A podcast where three guys from different walks of life come together and talk about their experiences from each generations perspective. In each episode we will pose a question at the top and discuss from there. It will mostly be lighthearted, but we won't be afraid to talk about some heavier subjects too. Either way, relax, grab yourself something to drink, and enjoy!

In this week’s episode we discussed the Invention Secrecy Act of 1951, a little-known U.S. law that allows the government to place secrecy orders on certain patents and inventions in the name of national security. We break down how the law works, why it was created during the Cold War, and the real-world impact it has had on inventors, innovation, and the patents you may never hear about. What happens when an invention is considered too powerful, or too dangerous, for the public to know about?
