Industrial Origins Podcast

Industrial Origins explores how the industries that shape our world came to be—and where they're headed next.

Each season takes a deep dive into a single industry, starting with the people, inventions, and ideas that sparked its beginnings. From there, we follow the breakthroughs, failures, rivalries, companies, and characters that transformed it into what it is today—and the startups, technologies, and new ideas that could define its future.

Because if you want to understand where an industry is going, you have to understand where it came from.
