Does anyone know about HowStuffWorks? They run this incredible podcast series called Stuff You Should Know, Stuff Mom Never Told You(women/gender/racial stories) and Stuff They Don't Want You To Know(the BEST conspiracy theory source)

They're headquartered here in Atlanta right on Peachtree street. EVERYONE should check them out. This is a shameless plug, but they deserve their publicity. Chuck and Josh are great. They've been the number one podcast on itunes for years.

HowStuffWorks "Stuff You Should Know Podcast"

Support your local economy, make yourself smarter. Watch SYSK!

If you're not sold, watch this video it's from Stuff They Don't Want You To Know. Will water run out?

SYSK is a stalwart in my podcast rotation. It's one of the best things coming out of the ATL these days.

HowStuffWorks.com is a fantastic site. I enjoy their Stuff from the Science Lab series.

Interesting video on water wars...

Atlantan Jeff Arnold (founder of WebMD) bought How Stuff Works in the early 2000s for $1 million. He build it up and in 2007 he sold it to the Discovery Channel for $250 million. Pretty good investment!

Oh yeah.. That takes some getting use to.


Go check out Stuff You Should Know. It's an actual podcast run by two guys. Certainly not like this. The narration is for the effect.

Honestly, your loss if you don't get into these guys or give them a chance. I've been listening to them for a while now. Great stuff


They're not the number one podcast on iTunes for nothing!
