Measuring time may seem simple, but the idea of an exact hour is a relatively recent construction. For centuries, each city lived by its own rhythm, until new demands—such as the railway—required synchronization. From there, increasingly precise clocks, time zones, and technologies like GPS began to weave an invisible network that coordinates the world in real time. What we now take for granted is, in fact, the result of a chain of decisions and innovations that transformed everything from daily life to the functioning of the global economy.

Behind Everything is a narrative podcast that explores the hidden connections shaping the world around us. Each episode starts with something familiar — an object, a system, or an everyday habit — and traces the unexpected chain of ideas, discoveries, accidents, and decisions that made it possible. Blending history, technology, science, and culture, the show reveals how small innovations can lead to profound transformations in the way we live. Rather than presenting isolated facts, Behind Everything unfolds as a sequence of interconnected stories, where each step leads to the next. Designed for curious listeners, it offers a clear and engaging perspective on how the modern world came to be. It’s an invitation to look closer at what seems obvious, and to realize that behind everything, there is always more than meets the eye.
