You know the things.
You don’t know the stories.

Tracing The Path is an award-winning storytelling podcast that uncovers the surprising history behind the people, products, companies, ideas, and moments that shaped modern life.

A candy cane can lead to a Swedish single mother. A grocery store can lead to the end of the Cold War. A bottle of Pepsi can lead to a Soviet naval fleet. Each episode starts with something familiar and follows an unexpected path through the people, decisions, inventions, and coincidences that made it possible.

Because history isn’t a collection of separate stories. Everything is connected.
