It's almost impossible to imagine life without the shopping cart today. However, it was invented less than a hundred years ago. In this How Curious episode, Rachel Hopkin explores how it came about, its pervasive impact, and the role that the Oklahoma inventor/entrepreneur/philanthropist Sylvan Goldman played in its success.
Thanks to KGOU listener Martin Ozinga for suggesting the invention of the shopping cart as a subject for How Curious. Thanks also all the contributors to this episode, plus Dr. Catherine Grandclément, Dr. Shane Hamilton, Jay Shanker, and Pixabay sound effects.
If you have an Oklahoma-related question or idea for a future episode, Rachel and the How Curious team would love to hear about it. You can reach them at curious@kgou.org.
