Wanna bust out some casual information about about animal psychology at your next work thing or give insightful context around Killers of the Flower Moon to your movie-going buddy as revenge for them mansplaining all of Oppenheimer to you? Give this well-produced, interesting-but-succinct, delightfully hosted podcast a try and sound at least 35% smarter at your next social obligation.

I binged all the episodes in an afternoon. The host has an engaging, comfortable reporting style that makes you feel like you’re having a beer with your friend… who just happens to have done a deep dive into a particular topic and collected information from a host of experts. Fascinating and fun!

I’m enjoying the show. My only wish would be if Chris’s personality came through a bit more. Always enjoyed his appearances on PCHH.
