"A New Kind of Movie" episode mistakenly plays the Westinghouse story, so it's on here twice, instead of two different episodes. These aren't exactly historically exact, the inventors/scientists weren't always laughed at when they proposed their ideas at first. "stop a train, with AIR?? HAHHahHA (Westinghouse) "My hands are CLEAN, doctor!" (washing hands to prevent perpueral fever, caused by germs on doctor's hands from previous patients and morgue visits). Either way I give this a good review, for adults as I would not want children to hear it and assume everyone was anti-invention in the past (they weren't - people wree the same now as they were then and welcomed new inventions especially ones that saved lives) minus a star for the duplicate episode, and audio isn't perfect but not unlistenable
Wonderful History

Excellent idea for Homeschooling especially long car trips. Might be for" young people ": dramatizations of real life events and or persons. Honestly if public schools utilize programs such as this, lessons may have a more lasting effect. Hearing history in this concept really stuck in my mind way more than if I had just only text to read about it. Audio quality I remember as very good. I completely enjoy hearing these again and again.
Interesting topics, great delivery

Science features, anecdotes, historical docu-dramas and technology news. A bit pedantic at times but otherwise highly listenable. A couple of clunkers, but overall a great way to enjoy a brief history of early 20th century marvels.
