Ep.25 – The Colossus of Roads
Have you ever sat on an airport tarmac and cursed the man who invented it? His name is John Macadam.
Episode Notes
Scotsman John Macadam is the man who took us from rutted-out dirt roads to the tar covered boulevards we know today. His invention is the inspiration behind the airport "tarmac". All roads might lead to Rome, but it was probably made from macadam.
