Stuff You Should Know

This originally appeared at The Irresponsible Reader as part of a quick-takes catch up post. The point is to catch up on my “To Write About” stack—emphasizing pithiness, not thoroughness..

Very little (if any) of this fits into things I should know, and I'm glad the subtitle talks about “Mostly Interesting” things. It's a strange hodgepodge of in-depth look at topics like...the history of facial hair, Murphy beds, Mezcal, and child prodigies.

It was fine, but nothing special. Before I started it, I figured this would end up turning me into a subscriber to the podcast. It didn't, but I can see why people would listen to it—the narrators/hosts are pretty engaging and had an interesting approach to their explanations. Maybe it was these topics, the randomness of the topics, or...I don't know. I just didn't see the point. It made for a good soundtrack to my workday, but within two days, I've pretty much forgotten everything I heard.
