“The host does an excellent job of telling the story behind things both big and small — some super obvious, and some you would never have thought of. Each episode is a great little nugget of information.”

Make sure to listen to all the episodes with mundane titles, as sometimes they take the most interesting twists.”

“I feel like I’ve barely engaged with it before it’s over, and I’m always left thinking “there’s so much more you could have said”. Interesting subjects, but in the end I had to unsubscribe because the frustration factor was too high.”

“This podcast is a must if you’ve ever found yourself wondering “How long has that been around?” Every episode is well built and dynamic. The length is convenient too, around 10 min each. Definitely worth a try, you’ll probably end up listening to all the episodes”

“They are just 10 minutes long and one a minute of filler. Some are obscure and some obvious. I liked the one on cement / concrete and didn’t realize how important sand was to the world.”

“Long podcasts that dive deeply into a topic can be great but what if you just want to learn a little bit about interesting topics that affect our everyday lives and economy? This podcast does just that, piquing interest with short m, fascinating episodes. Very interesting!”

“Just like their prior podcasts using a similar format..."x things that made the world", etc, BBC has nailed this. Almost every one of these has information that I found fascinating and useful. The episode on tinned food for some reason does not play on my phone..Thanks BBC.”Read full review »

“Good podcast but why does it have to have 90 secs of advertising at the end when the pod is only 10 mins long. Other pods don’t go to this extreme. It is getting to the point where I may stop subscribing”

“Even given the very professional level of most BBC podcast series, this is outstanding. Great research into apparently humble products of everyday life makes each 9 minute segment very addictive.
