Standards and measurements may seem boring on the surface, but they are what allow design concepts to manifest into reality. Brian and Sam explore stories behind the units of the metric system (specifically the kilogram, the meter, and the candela) and bring a little life to these otherwise mundane numbers.

Produced and hosted by Brian Moore and Sam Malott Brown.

Audio editing and mixing by Julia Sikora.
