I haven't done it yet, but I noticed the word, 'Podcasts'. Also, plainly it's meant for children, school children. It's the least a great nation can do, but it must be done well.

The 100 objects series is seriously adult, and with current great thinkers contributing to every episode. One of the most interesting things to me is which great thinkers they will bring into each episode. There are surprising choices. The Croesus talk wandered into the introduction and use of
money,
electrum, how coins were made, how uses, links to trade, major
architecture etc. I think they
had Richard
Rogers (architect) as well as a kingpin from Goldman
Sachs commenting. We are some 20 episodes into the series now and I think it will prove an all time great radio show, as much for the famous names as for the objects.
There are accompanying talks in the museum - a metallurgist is giving a talk about the Croesus.
