"Stolen" Ideas/Inventions in History

from That's Old News · host That's Old News

Inventions are great! They make our everyday lives much easier and give us access to things previously thought impossible, like transatlantic communication, faster ways of travelling across continents, and the ability to scream at Fortnite players for being... well, Fortnite players. But when it comes to giving credit to the inventors of these brilliant inventions, sometimes history gives credit to the wrong guy. Join Hayley this week as she takes the lads through a little look into when history gets the inventor wrong, ranging from the first automobile to the first telescope! Learn how the inventors came up with the idea, and how those credited with the invention improved greatly (or sometimes not at all) on the original design! This episode was hosted by Hayley O'Connor and joined by Arron Keegan and Conor Daly. The intro and outro song - Strollin' Along - was recorded by David Renda.
