You'll never think about a banana or look at your AirPods in the same way after this episode.

It’s the podcast crossover the world has been waiting for. Niall Paterson sits down with Sky’s data and economics editor Ed Conway to discuss his six-part series #StuffMatters.

The premise of the show is simple - Ed takes an everyday object before diving down a rabbit hole to explore what it tells us about the forces shaping our world.

So - how did a #banana trigger a #CIA-backed coup? What do #LED lights tell us about the future of humanity? Listen to this episode of This Is Why... and then listen to Stuff Matters.
