    Seas, Gulf, Bays, Coves, Sounds, and Fjords: When Geographers Go Wild

    Why call something an ocean when you can call it a sea? Why call it a sea when you can call it a gulf? Why is Long Island Sound a body of water and not a rock band?

    Five Minute Lit: The Stranger

    History is full of restless, ambitious overachievers who wanted to make some difference in the world. But what if our idea of the world is wrong? What if life is nothing more than a dumb accident of the universe with no meaning? This is the philosophy of absurdism. In Albert Camus' The Stranger, the idea of absurdism is told through the character of Meursalt, a guy so checked out of life that he can't even explain why he murdered someone. On this week's show, we're talking about life, death, and the meaning of it all.  WWW.5MINUTETRIVIA.COM

    Black Holes: When Stars Collapse, Part 1

    Black holes have been a reliable source of inspiration in science fiction and made astrophysicists like Stephen Hawking into household names. On this week's show, we follow how the idea of black holes went from a mathematical sideshow to a phenomenon that has fundamentally reshaped our understanding of the universe. This episode is the first of a two-parter on the funny business that happens when stars stop being stars. WWW.5MINUTETRIVIA.COM

    The Impressionist Art Movement

    Impressionism was a 19th century art movement borne out of an insult, but quickly became one of the most popular and enduring art forms in history. Legendary painters like Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Edouard Manet, and Mary Cassatt were impressionists. On today's show, we explore the history of this movement and how its artists embraced that derisive term. All of the paintings featured on today's episode can be found in the show notes on the www.5minutetrivia.com website. WWW.5MINUTETRIVIA.COM

    A Drink To Go With The Food: The Molotov Cocktail

    The Molotov cocktail is not a drink and the person it's named for didn't invent it. Yet there is perhaps no more iconic symbol of resistance in the world than a flaming bottle being thrown at a technologically superior opponent. Where did the Molotov cocktail come from and why is it called that? We're talking all about it on this week's show. WWW.5MINUTETRIVIA.COM

    Earth's Time Machine: The International Date Line

    If you want to turn today into tomorrow, you don't need to wait for science to invent something. You can just go west until you cross 180 degrees longitude. That's where the International Date Line is located. On today's show, we talk about what it is and why it's needed. Special appearances by Gary Cooper and The Ghostbusters. WWW.5MINUTETRIVIA.COM
