DNA science. Artificial intelligence. Smartphones and 3D printers. Science and technology have transformed the world we live in. But how did we get here? It wasn’t by accident. Well, sometimes it was. It was also the result of hard work, teamwork, and competition. And incredibly surprising moments.
Hosted by bestselling author Steven Johnson (“How We Got To Now”), American Innovations uses immersive scenes to tell the stories of the scientists, engineers, and ordinary people behind the greatest discoveries of the past century. From Wondery, the network behind Business Wars, American History Tellers, and Dirty John.
Customer Reviews
Quantum computing made easy
A really difficult to understand topic made digestible. Well done.
Historical Recreations
Informative, but the “historical recreations” are silly and makes me feel that maybe I’m listening to a podcast aimed at fifth graders.
Birth control episodes!
These were so fascinating and informative. They gave me so much perspective on what seems like such a basic freedom. I’m filled with gratitude for the men and women who fought so hard to give women the ability to choose when to have a family.
