Recharge your battery wisdom

We're a curious species. As kids, we negotiate with the world through questions like 'Why?' 'How?' and 'When?' so much that they become part of our staple diet. However, as we age, many of us hit a learning plateau. And some unlucky ones truly believe that they are know-it-alls. But if you're among the lucky few still brimming with curiosity and want to know more about things around you - and not just 'the news' - then the 'Everything Everywhere Daily' podcast's 16-min episode on Batteries is for you.

Hosted by Gary Arndt, listeners embark on a journey through the evolution of batteries, tracing their origins back not hundreds of years but thousands, long before the concept of electricity was even understood. Through Arndt's engaging narration, we gain insights into the workings of this ubiquitous source of electric power and their pivotal role in powering technologies that drive societies forward.

As the demand for more efficient and advanced batteries escalates with the proliferation of electronic devices, buckle up to learn about the promising future of that entity that quietly buzzes inside our devices from laptops and cars, to smoke detectors and smartphones.
