Now That's Not A Very Interesting Podcast!

The Evolution of the Microwave.


Listen Later

​In this episode, Craig Chapman explores the humming, rotating heart of the modern kitchen. From Percy Spencer’s ruined chocolate bar in 1945 to the 340kg "Radarange" that stood as tall as a person, we trace the journey of an appliance that changed how we eat—mostly by making things lukewarm in the middle.

Featuring:

  • A Special Guest: Inventor and master of the workshop MericanMaker joins us from his YouTube channel from across the pond to discuss the "mechanical soul" of the microwave, the mystery of hidden fuses, and the dangers of accidental indoor lightning storms.
  • What Do I Have Here?: Craig unboxes a 1994 Hanimex 35mm Focus-Free camera and finds it fundamentally unsatisfying.
  • The Listeners Corner: Addressing neon yellow road lines in Darlington and a very pointed observation from Ryan in Manchester regarding the show's sponsorship policy.
