Very interesting.....

Who knew?? I found these podcasts to be very interesting and informative. It's refreshing to know that there are people out there who care enough to inform us of interesting facts that fuel our brains rather than the typical trash that floods us daily. Does anybody really care which celebrity went into rehab this week? This makes for much more interesting conversation around the "water cooler". Not to mention that it makes you sound smart :) Keep up the good work!

The inspiration

One of the original inspirations for my own podcast, Josh and Chuck get you thinking about things you never think about…but then wonder about this stuff all day. Get a smile and a bit of an education from these guys!
