Electric Chair | War of the Currents | 1
October 17, 2019 09:00 - 44 minutes - 41.1 MBOn August 6, 1890, a prisoner named William Kemmler became the first man executed in the electric chair. It was designed to be a more humane form of execution, but the gruesome scene in the death chamber that day revealed the device to be anything but. Still, the chair stuck around. And Kemmler’s execution proved to be a pivotal moment in the history of capital punishment. But if you pull back just slightly, you’ll see that the story of the electric chair was just one small chapte...

Skylab: NASA’s Best-Kept Secret| We Fix Anything | 2
October 03, 2019 09:00 - 36 minutes - 33.1 MBThis episode is available exclusively for Wondery+ subscribers. Skylab was NASA’s underdog — a cobbled-together program that lived in the shadow of the Apollo moon landings. But with the last of those moon landings completed in December of 1972, it was finally Skylab’s time to shine. That is, until launch. Now the eighty-ton space station is in orbit, but it’s badly damaged — possibly uninhabitable. And the timing couldn’t be worse. With America in the midst of a recession, politi...
Skylab: NASA’s Best-Kept Secret| Apollo’s Leftovers | 1
September 26, 2019 09:00 - 39 minutes - 35.7 MBFifty years ago, America’s space program achieved its greatest triumph, when Apollo Eleven put the first men on the moon. The Apollo program was a remarkable success story. But as NASA was sending men to the moon, they were engaged in another, less celebrated project — one even more important than the moon landings to humanity’s potential future in space. That project was called Skylab — America’s first space station. Chances are you’ve never heard of Skylab. If you know anything ...

Corn Flakes | The Brothers of Battle Creek | 1
August 22, 2019 09:00 - 40 minutes - 37.2 MBFor the first 150 years of American history, American citizens were plagued by gastrointestinal issues. Diarrhea, gastritis and dysentery were pretty much a way of life. Indigestion was such an immense problem, the poet Walt Whitman called it “the Great American Evil.” All these stomach issues were thanks, in part, to breakfast—which looked very different than it does today. Roast pork, pickled vegetables and thick gruel were common staples on the American breakfast table. That is...
The Heimlich Maneuver | 1
August 15, 2019 09:00 - 43 minutes - 40.1 MBIn the 1960s, choking was a national epidemic. In the United States alone, close to 4,000 people were dying from choking every year. Lobster, ham, and hamburger were common culprits. But steak was by far the greatest offender. Coroners called for a solution to these “Cafe Coronaries,” and the medical community responded with weird and dangerous gadgets: vacuum tubes and long tweezers. But Dr. Henry Heimlich knew this problem required something else; a simple technique that anyone...

These stories teach us about the vision, grit, competition, and teamwork required to conquer new frontiers and forge new pathways to the future. But equally valuable, perhaps, are the stories of those visionary innovators who seemed poised for greatness, who aimed for the stars, and then fell, crashing spectacularly back to earth. In this series, we’ll exami...

The Birth Control Pill | Paradise and the Pill | 3
June 27, 2019 07:05 - 41 minutes - 37.7 MBThis episode is available exclusively for Wondery+ subscribers. Since its launch, the birth control project had faced one obstacle after another. And over the year and a half that they’d been working, they had managed to solve all of their problems, except one: recruiting test subject for human trials. Birth control was still illegal in the US, so they couldn’t advertise the study, and if they couldn’t advertise, they couldn’t recruit subjects. At the time, the problem seemed insu...
The Birth Control Pill | A Matter of Money | 2
June 20, 2019 07:05 - 41 minutes - 38 MBThis episode is available exclusively for Wondery+ subscribers. In 1951, Dr. Gregory Pincus was on the verge of a breakthrough.

Both Pincus and Margaret Sanger had tapped all of their respective resources. If there was any hope for the birth control pill, they'd need a big influx of cash—fast. That’s when Katharine McCormick ent...

The Birth Control Pill | But Can It Be Done? | 1
June 13, 2019 07:05 - 40 minutes - 37.5 MBWhen Margaret Sanger opened her birth control clinic in 1916, she knew she was breaking the law. Distributing contraceptives, or even literature about birth control, was a jailable offense. But she didn’t care. As a nurse, Sanger had sworn to devote herself to the welfare of those in her community. And in the early 1900s, that meant doing something about the public health crisis caused by unplanned pregnancies. At the turn of the century, many women were having babies with no break...

Star Wars' Cinema Technology | The Audience is Listening | 3
May 30, 2019 07:05 - 40 minutes - 37.3 MBThis episode is available exclusively for Wondery+ subscribers. By 1975, George Lucas knew exactly what he wanted Star Wars to look like, but what it would sound like was another story altogether. Lucas was tired of Sci-Fi’s typical synthetic and electronic cliches; he wanted a sonic world that felt organic and personal. So he hired a young sound designer named Ben Burtt, and sent him out into the world with a recorder and microphone. Burtt would need to blend and manipulate his r...

Star Wars' Cinema Technology | The Saga Continues | 2
May 23, 2019 07:05 - 43 minutes - 39.6 MBThis episode is available exclusively for Wondery+ subscribers. With the success of STAR WARS, George Lucas finally had the independence and power to make movies exactly the way he wanted to make them—which was critical, because the sequels he planned were going to be even bigger and more challenging than the original. The artists of Industrial Light and Magic had barely finished the first film, but now they’d have to top themselves--designing a snow planet, imperial walkers, taunt...
Star Wars' Cinema Technology | 6842 Valjean Ave | 1
May 16, 2019 07:05 - 43 minutes - 39.6 MBWhen STAR WARS debuted in May 1977, it gave rise to a pop-cultural phenomenon unlike any the world had ever seen. The movie was so singular and iconic, and so technically ambitious -- that it almost never came to be. To bring Star Wars to the screen, new technology had to be invented and existing technology had to be utilized in ways never before imagined. None of the special effects companies in Hollywood could handle the blend of creativity and innovation necessary to bring direc...
Airplane | Rewriting Aviation History | 3
May 02, 2019 07:05 - 40 minutes - 37.5 MBThis episode is available exclusively for Wondery+ subscribers. In 1913, the young aviation industry was in trouble. The Wright brothers’ broad proprietary claim on airplane technology—and their willingness to sue competitors—created a legal bottleneck that was stifling the airplane’s development. Their legal power over aviation stemmed from the idea that they were the first to build a plane capable of flying. But what if they weren’t the first? In early 1914, Glenn Curtiss was pr...

April 25, 2019 07:05 - 41 minutes - 37.8 MBThis episode is available exclusively for Wondery+ subscribers. Glenn Curtiss may have mastered the technical aspects of the airplane, but in September of 1909, Curtiss found himself painfully ill-equipped to handle the latest challenge before him: the Wright brothers were suing him for patent infringement., demanding he stop building, selling, and even flying his planes. While Curtiss was the main target of the lawsuit, the outcome of the case would affect the industry as a whol...
Airplane | The Flight of the June Bug | 1
April 18, 2019 07:05 - 44 minutes - 40.5 MBThink for a moment about some of the pioneering developments from the earliest days of American aviation: The first pilot’s licence; the first flight from one city to another; the first airplane sold commercially. More than a century later, most people attribute these milestones to the Wright brothers. But the Wright brothers were responsible for none of these firsts. In fact, all of these achievements belong to just one man: Glenn Hammond Curtiss, the father of modern aviation. So ...
