50 Things that Made the Modern Economy is one of my favorite podcasts!

For anyone who finds this article (slash podcast episode) interesting, I'd also recommend the episode on the Hollerith punch card, which is kinda relevant to the history of the computing field :)

The article for this episode (i.e. same format as main link): https://www.bbc.com/news/business-50578234

I also recommend the author's other podcast "Cautionary Tales". It's very well produced, and fascinating.
