In 2012, Romanian director Cristian Mungiu released Beyond the Hills, a two-and-a-half-hour film with no musical score, no demon, and no exorcist standing under a streetlamp while the orchestra announces that evil has arrived. What it has instead is mud, cold rooms, black robes, prayer, and two young women named Alina and Voichita. It won Best Screenplay at Cannes and a shared Best Actress prize for its two first-time leads. And al...

A boy walks a frozen dirt road in rural Sweden with boxes of matches in his coat pocket. He buys them cheap in bulk in Stockholm and sells them one at a time to his neighbors for a few coins. The matches are beside the point. What he is really doing on those doorsteps is teaching himself how to take the plainest object anyone can name and move it in a way that makes people reach for their money. His name is Ingvar Kamprad, and the ...

She said later it was hard as a rock, and that it belonged in the Smithsonian as a specimen of bread from the Stone Age. She had never baked a loaf of bread in her life. Upstairs was her nine-year-old son Mark, whose asthma and food allergies were severe enough that the family allergist had told her the ma...

Almost anyone else would have wiped their hand and forgotten it. Percy Spencer asked why.

    Before the name meant green machines and polished steel, John Deere was just a man walking west — away from a small Vermont town, away from debts he couldn't pay and trouble closing in, away from a pregnant wife and a child left behind in the cold. Was it survival, or was it abandonment? This episode of the MR. HANSoN Podcast refuses to answer that question too cleanly, because the truth never did. Born in 1804 and shadowed ...

    In the late 1940s, a struggling young man ran a hot dog stand in San Bernardino, California — and watched the line across the street wrap around a small Mexican café that was outselling him every single day. He didn't feel envy. He felt curiosity. That one habit of mind would turn Glen Bell into the founder of Taco Bell and reshape the way an entire country eats. This episode of the MR.

    He was born in the red dust of a defeated South with no money, no name, and no empire waiting for him — just a single leaf of cured tobacco in a boy's hand. By the time James Buchanan "Buck" Duke was finished, he had built and lost one of the most total monopolies in American history, then turned around and built a second empire out of falling water and electricity, then poured his fortune into hospitals and a university that...
