Gamechangers from The Economist

It might start with a lightbulb moment or a sudden flash of insight—but having an idea and making a success of it are very different things. It’s the gap between invention and innovation. In these six episodes, you’ll find out about the people and stories behind game-changing ideas and technology.

GameChanger bc its actually a fun show to listen to.

Whoa! Thank you for changing MY game! Lol its like watching a fun show about mutants on Netflix, only, the characters are real. PS. Loves all the time & production that goes into making the show: all the soundscapes and amazing story tellers. Makes it more entertaining and easier to listen to.. like a comic book for the ears lol.

Amazing podcast

Great production and wish I wouldn’t have to wait a month until the next episode! Hands down one of the best podcasts I have listened to

Very entertaining and educational

What more can you ask from a podcast? Get some history on a subject and see how it changed along the way. My only complaint is I wish it went longer and deeper into where the tech is going. I look forward to more episodes.

Top notch first episode

Explores some of the dead ends and ideas that lead to electric car development. Great interviews with pioneering scientists and founders. Look forward to this show format with other game changing systems.
