Ben Gilbert and David Rosenthal tell the whole story of a single company in each main episode, and the depth of research shows in the detail. Main episodes are long, which rewards a road trip but tests anyone short on patience. Not every subject is technology: 2026 episodes have covered Ferrari, Vanguard and The Home Depot, so choose from the back catalogue by company. A technology firm you already use every day is the easiest way in.
