    About The Origin of Things
    A short-format podcast where I give you the origins, the backstories - slightly dramatized but 100% true - of things that you know, love, and use. I reveal what I’m talking about only at the very end keeping you, the listener, guessing - or so I hope. In the past two seasons, I’ve done the origins of 50 brands. This season, we look at the origin of some of the greatest songs of all time.
