About this episode
This episode explores the impact of mirrors on self-perception and the invention of microfilm by René Dagron.
We explore how mirrors shaped self‑perception and how René Dagron shrank images into microfilm, connecting two inventions that changed how we see ourselves—and how we share what we see.
