A History of the World in 100 Objects
This podcast wrapped up, but the back catalogue holds up well.
No new episodes are coming out. The existing ones are still worth a listen.
Neil MacGregor from the British Museum picks 100 objects and uses each one to tell a chapter of human history. It's a beautifully simple concept executed brilliantly. A stone chopping tool becomes a story about early human migration. A credit card tells the story of modern finance. Episodes are short (around 15 minutes), making this perfect for bite-sized learning. Originally a BBC Radio 4 series, and the production quality reflects that pedigree. Finished and complete - binge the whole thing guilt-free.
