Grob – the only nation never to discover the wheel, even after it was shown to them by outsiders and patiently explained. The only nation in World War II to declare war on the Swiss and no one else. The only nation to decide it didn’t like its industrial revolution and revolve back in the other direction. Land of contradictions; land of no contradictions. This podcast tells the story of this unique and fascinating nation from the bronze age to the present day and beyond.
