Such an elevating, moving, and thought-provoking work. An incredible journey through time and culture, that opens windows into the development of the human psyche. This podcast takes me to a place of peace and reconciliation, and provides some perspective when such a thing feels far away. Treat yo’self!

A wonderful look back in time at important objects that shaped our world. It took me a little while to get used to his voice, but by the end I wanted another 900 objects.
