10 Most Beautiful Things: Part 2
Notas del episodio
Dan and Josh continue their series on the ten most beautiful man-made objects in history. This time they open not with books but with music—Glenn Gould, Bach, temperament, Beethoven, and the limits of describing music in words—before returning to their lists. The episode ranges from Duccio and Fra Angelico to Bernini, firearms design and engineering, crayons, Gothic glass, and the Saturn V’s mighty F-1 engine, with the usual mix of aesthetic argument, historical digression, and sibling combat.
