Better living through chemistry? - a podcast by ABC Radio

The year is 1911, and a young man by the name of Thomas Midgely Jr. is graduating university with a degree in engineering.

Thomas doesn’t know it yet, but he will have a greater impact on the Earth’s atmosphere than any other single organism.

He will help create two world-changing chemical inventions that will improve the lives of many, and negatively change two parts of our ecosystem in the process with decades-long consequences.
