The story of the private residence of a 19th century shipping magnate - and how it became a symbol of nostalgia.

About The Origin of Things
A short-format podcast where I give you the origins, the backstories - slightly dramatized but 100% true - of things that you know, love, and use. I reveal what I’m talking about only at the very end keeping you, the listener, guessing - or so I hope. In the past two seasons, I’ve done the origins of 50 brands. This season, we look at the origin of some of the greatest songs of all time.

I’m your host, Deepak Gopalakrishnan, also known as Chuck. Say hello!
