Have you ever heard of Ada Lovelace? You might have been told she wrote the first computer programme.
But what does that mean and how can that be possible when she was an aristocratic Victorian lady and computers as we know them weren't built for another 100 years?   
We explore the life of the maths-whizz Augusta Ada Byron, who went on to become the Countess of Lovelace. We see how she became a digital pioneer who is celebrated as the creator of the first computer algorithm.
Every time you play a computer game or even listen to this podcast you are part of her legacy.
