This Week I learned
Not to be confused with the weirdest thing I learned this week by popular science, this podcast from the magazine The Week is made up of fun bite sized bits on interesting and diverse topics. Some of the other shows The Week has include Seven minute explainer, The Week Unwrapped, and Seven-Minute Opinions. Host Lauren Hansen is a fun and charming host, coupled with lovely short music weaved into facts and the studies behind them. Science, history, and psychology are just a few of the subjects that were presented by the show during its run. The podcast ended in 2017 but with 79 episodes all about 18 minutes long you have at least 23 hours of amazing content to listen to. My favorite episodes which I recommend starting with were “Ep. 74: This week I learned the dinosaurs could still be alive today if the asteroid had hit pretty much anywhere else, and more” and “Ep. 36: This week I learned why we're all suckers for the good cop/bad cop routine, and more.” For its short run the show has 4.2 out of 5 stars and 239 ratings. You should give it a listen and a review, you never know what shows can be brought back.
