About this episode

Join us for a deep dive into platinum—its rare history, extraordinary properties, and surprising roles in medicine, clean energy, and everyday tech. We'll trace its journey from ancient uses to modern catalysts, cancer therapy with cisplatin, catalytic converters, airbags, fuel cells, electronics, and even investment. Along the way we’ll explore supply, recycling, and why this precious metal matters more than its sparkle suggests.
