50 Things That Made the Modern Economy

Has anyone else been listening to this? It's great stuff. Short 9 minute podcasts about things that have shaped and formed the world we now live in. Banks, barcodes, the lightbulb, computer compilers, the diesel engine. Highly recommended.

yes - pretty good.
The BBC produce some of the best content in podcasts ->
Witness
Business Daily etc.
Check out elements which was originally part of business daily - goes through all the elements in the periodic table in terms of where they are found/extracted, what they are used for etc - much more interesting that it sounds!
