I absolutely love this podcast. It always puts me in a great mood and it's really fun to listen and learn about all the different topics.

Very well produced, light, entertaining and full of interesting facts, plus possibly the coolest name for a podcaster. A really fun listen!

Description

Host Moxie LaBouche brings you a weekly half-hour of things you didn't know, things you thought you knew, and things you never knew you never knew. Topics range from the history of nursing to the Balinese funeral rite David Bowie requested, from the origin of the Vulcan salute to the theft of Canada's strategic maple syrup reserve. This is your brain on facts. yourbrainonfacts.com
