Excerpt: 

The Engines of Our Ingenuity is a radio program that tells the story of how our culture is formed by human creativity. Written and hosted by John Lienhard, it is heard nationally on Public Radio and produced by KUHF-FM Houston. Among other features, this web site houses the transcripts for every episode heard since the show's inception in 1988. Streaming audio is available on each of the posted episodes.

Annotation: 

All 1,779 transcripts and audio recordings of the KUHM, Houston radio series "The Engines of our Ingenuity" are included in this site. The vast majority of these transcripts and recordings concern inventions, engineering and science. Fortunately, there is a useful search engine that permits browsers to find topics ranging from Aristotle to rocketry. The transcripts also contain links to key words within the text, a helpful resource. Though the information is not deep, it does provide an interesting introduction to the work of a great many scientists and inventors.
