The World We Overlook: Roman Mars (Host of the "99% Invisible" Podcast and Co-founder of Radiotopia)(Ep. 40)

We use a lot of stuff we don't understand. If you don't believe me, how many people do you know you can repair their car engine or fix their bike without help? I don't know many. How many people do you know who understand exactly how a ballpoint pen works? I know none. How about a zipper? To me, it's magic. These last two are examples of things that are 99% invisible. They are there of course, but we never pause to think about them or how they work. Roman Mars, the well-known host of the 99% Invisible podcast and co-founder of Radiotopia, enjoys exploring these items and others like them. Today, we discuss some other 99% invisible examples and if we should care about missing them. Does it really affect our lives if we never know how a car engine runs, a bike gear works, a pen dispenses ink, or a zipper does its magic?
