From July 8, 2020:

Spectacles are important. So important that they’ve been around a lot longer than anyone thought.

They had a rough start though and several of the things we take for granted about eyewear were a long time coming. But at last, here they are and in this episode we talk you through their history. We take you from early Egyptian eye glasses to totally useless decorative eyeglasses all in the same show. And by the end, we hope you see our point.

You can grab a copy of The Clock and The Camshaft by John W. Farrel from Amazon.
