“Really refreshing reminder about the human condition when confronted with the new, the foreign, the different. I would recommend this podcast to everyone and especially those who know they are stuck in their ways, curmudgeon-y and don't like change - as well as being a fact packed, wise-cracking, chuckle inducing romp through past innovation, this podcast shows us how we've always rejected inventions, called them "the devil" and then promptly all started using them in our daily lives. We are easily sucked in by fear of the new, succumb to pseudoscience and propoganda.

Now go ahead and enjoy this podcast on your new iPhone 13 or whatever.”Read full review »
