The usefulness of useless knowledge

Breaking news: knowing random stuff is officially a personality trait. We’re at TSAN are publishing an ode to gloriously useless knowledge — the kind that won’t help you file taxes but will make you the most interesting person at brunch. From accidental Nobel-worthy discoveries to delightfully pointless facts (yes, sloths really do not poop on the trees where they live), we’re proving that curiosity > perfection. If you love fun facts, a chaotic mix of new information and connecting dots nobody else sees… this episode is your playground! Hosts: Fatima Ammalou, Marie Heimburg and Belén Sabroso Ballesteros This is a podcast from K103 Gothenburg Studentradio.
