		<description>100 PODCASTS ABOUT 100 OBJECTS

From the dawn of man, humans have been genetically hard-wired to hunt, find and acquire.

Or as we now call it, go shopping.

In his book, The History of Retail in 100 Objects, compiler and editor David Roth, took us through the evolution of shopping through the ages.

From the Abacus to Alexa, he selected 100 objects from the world of retail to help us understand not only how retailing has progressed through the ages but also illustrated how retail created major societal changes over the centuries.

See what Andy Warhol, a man with an uncanny understanding of the impact of retail and branding on society, had to say -

“When you think about it, department stores are kind of like museums where images of mass advertising and popular culture that everyone can recognize are a form of art.” — Andy Warhol

So, without question, there are many lessons to be learned from the retail sector - and today sees the launch of The History of Retail in 100 Objects Podcasts series.

Three-to-four-minute podcasts narrated by David Roth that cover every single one of the 100 objects. Fascinating, bite-size glimpses of innovation, progress and transformation in retail and society at home and abroad.

Pick an object, click and listen. You&#039;ll be captivated, entertained and surprised.

And a little better informed about the many facets and developments in the endlessly changing world of retail and society.</description>
