Entertaining and Educational
Do yourself a favour and gives listen.
I really enjoy this show. It’s very surprising how fascinating the ordinary topics can be. Plus the two hosts are both creative and very funny. Alex and Katie are spontaneous and in perfect sync. I love their humour and their honest personalities. After a few listens they feel like old friends. Great podcast, entertaining and educational .

The name says it all!
If you’re looking through the episodes and see topics like Cabbage, Batteries, Apples, and Paperclips and think “there’s no way that’s going to be interesting”, well, that’s the magic of the show! Alex (and Katie) never fail to take the most mundane-seeming topics and peel back the layers to show the (secretly incredibly) fascinating facts you’ve never heard, and deliver it in a conversational way that never feels like just a list of facts
I’m obsessed!
Katie and Alex are funny and charming. The information they share is truly fascinating. I love learning a little each week
