Invention Explored: Lemelson Center podcasts

Lemelson Center: Video & Audio

The Jerome and Dorothy Lemelson Center for the Study of Invention and Innovation was founded in 1995 at the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History. Here the podcasts from the Center explore inventions from robots to Kermit the Frog; the cardiac pacemaker to animation; computer programming to the phonograph. The inventions and discussion also include much more up-to-date and contemporary items.
