It’s day 1 of our new week-long countdown, 25 People Who Changed the World… for Better, for Worse, and for Sillier. Today we unpack the confusing lingo behind duct tape, meet a young woman who put innovation in paper bags, and engage with a mysterious organization dedicated to collecting and cataloguing bread clips. Plus: David Nagler is back with a Dolly Parton-inspired ode to internet phone calls.
Visit HORG.com to learn more than you thought possible about occlupanids.
Check out David Nagler’s website and his band, As For the Future.
Listen to The Builders with Walter Isaacson, available now wherever you get podcasts.
