Shipped investigates the hidden history of the commodities that shaped civilization — sugar, opium, indigo, rubber, and the everyday objects with stories most people never learn. 

Each episode traces a single commodity from its ancient origins through colonial exploitation, corporate consolidation, and the human cost behind its rise, ending with the cover-up that kept the truth buried.

This isn't textbook history. It's the butterfly-effect history of empire, addiction, slavery, and greed — told through the objects sitting in your kitchen, your closet, and your medicine cabinet. If you've ever wondered what's really behind the things you use every day, this is where you find out.
