I want to tell you about a great podcast I recently discovered called Explain Like I'm Five.

Episodes are just five to eight minutes long and they cover really interesting topics like

the good and bad of inflation, where the terms left wing and right wing come from, the pros and

cons of GMO foods, the debt ceiling, and a lot of fascinating non-political topics, too,

like shipping containers, if humans really need pillows, and why you shouldn't mix grapefruit

with so many prescription medications. What I love about explaining like I'm five is that they

take so many questions I've always wondered about, and they explained them in a way that's

straightforward and

easy to understand. I'm going to play a one-minute trailer from the host Tim and Kevin so you can get a

feel for the show. Explain Like I'm Five is a podcast where we take the questions you always

wanted to ask and talk about them in a way that's easy to understand.

We are your hosts. I'm Tim. And I'm Kevin. And we're here to answer those curious questions like why caffeine gives you energy but has zero calories. Or why do some people get mosquito bites more

than others? Or one recent one, why is it so hard to run in your dreams? Oh yeah, I had that

problem last night. I also really loved our dopamine episode.

You know, is it a feel-good drug? Oh, yeah, it's not, is it? No, that's right, that's right, it's not. Or how about the one we did on the national debt? Ah, yes, I remember that one, where we asked, who do countries actually owe when they're in debt? Right. So if you're interested in those topics or others,

so come listen to us on the Explain Like I Five podcast.
