Do you have an unending need to know just a little bit about everything? Maybe you're working on becoming your local brewery's trivia champion, or maybe you just have a never-ending thirst for information about the world around you. Know et al. is a weekly podcast where no topic is off the table, from the origin of the word "tampon", to the science of bog bodies and the history of chlorine. I hope to help humans become more excited about their world through knowledge and information, realizing that there is one thing that makes us all the same, curiosity. Listen weekly!
