the episode of the podcast Acquired about the history of Ikea[1], I strongly recommend it.

The Acquired podcast did a marvelous breakdown of the American pharmaceutical industry while covering Novo Nordisk... I highly recommend giving it a listen.

There's an excellent podcast called Acquired with a 3-part episode covering the birth and evolution of NVIDIA, highly recommended.
