Description
Known for his work on bridges across the French railway network, Gustave Eiffel was a world-renowned engineer. Though trained in chemical engineering, his true legacy lies in the iconic structures he built—including a certain tower in Paris you’ve definitely heard of.
In this episode, we explore Eiffel’s contributions to the Statue of Liberty, his pioneering research in aerodynamics and meteorology, and the surprising backlash his famous tower initially received. Don’t miss Ellie’s dramatic reading of those scathing early reviews—if you can keep a straight face!
Happy listening!
