My latest project is the podcast "Everyday Abundance," with fellow writer Charles C. Mann (1491, The Wizard and the Prophet). We explore the hidden histories behind everyday activities like brushing your teeth and the technologies you didn't even know were technologies. Available in audio wherever you get podcasts and as video on our YouTube channel.
