About The Origin of Things

The Origin of Things is a weekly short-format podcast run by Deepak Gopalakrishnan aka Chuck.

Each episode deals with the origin of a popular brand, but with the name of the brand (and often, category) revealed only at the end - hence adding a bit of drama, keeping the listener guessing.
