“This entertaining and insightful podcast starts with a weird science fact that each of the three podcasters has learned in the previous week. Each weird factoid then becomes one bright diamond in a multi-jeweled discussion that situates science in the context of human evolution and cultural expression.
Why, for example, would Thomas Jefferson send explorers to look for giant sloths? How have hot peppers and human and horse butts co-evolved and how long have men been taking gross jokes and turning them into cultural memes? Why did Eleanor Roosevelt, like many urban parents, dangle her baby in a kind of chicken coop from her 10th floor townhome window?
This podcast wonderfully continues the Pop Sci tradition of making science fresh and accessible ... by showing how it informs every aspect of our daily lives.”
