Engines of Ingenuity
PBR (Public Broadcasting Radio) in the USA is the nearest equivalent to the BBC in the UK. One of their longest running broadcasts has been Engines of Ingenuity that tells the story of how our culture is formed by human creativity. Written and hosted by John Lienhard, it is heard nationally on Public Radio and produced by the US radio station KUHF-FM Houston. The website is hosted at the University of Houston.
Fascinatingly they have all 2,299 episodes (it’s been running since 1988!) transcribed and available to read free on the site. An amazing amount. If you want to read stories about the famous and not so famous who helped shape our society this is a good place to start. Recommended.
