Everyone loves fast delivery, but nobody loves thinking about how it works. In this episode, we dig into the overlooked story of logistics: the steam engines that kicked it off, the wars that reinvented it, the barcodes and warehouses that scaled it, and the robots now trying to keep it all from breaking. A practical, funny look at the global machine we depend on every day.

“You will not find it difficult to prove that battles, campaigns, and even wars have been won or lost primarily because of logistics.”
Dwight D. Eisenhower
