Great podcast!

Glad I found this through Freakonomics. Every show is a great short insight into some great topics. I would like to suggest stagehands for a future topic. Personally I’m an entertainment rigger and stagehand. Would be a fun topic. Keep up the great work!
My new favorite podcast

How could I have known there were so many fascinating facts about sushi?!? Every episode provides delightful nuggets of information about subjects you never thought you’d have an interest in.
Often Smarmy

Some interesting content usually overshadowed by the narrator’s smugness. This show really loves it’s intros an outros. It’s really just a base line, so it’s not nearly as clever as the pod producers think it is.
Tiny bites of brilliance

These fun-sized episodes are perfect for quick car rides and bus stops. Entertaining and informative, I appreciate that I can listen to this podcast with my tweens, and then have a mature and thoughtful conversation about the subject.
