Summary

Everything Michael Swaim knows about the world, he learned from The Simpsons—and now, he's passing on all that useless information to you. On Simpsons Taught Me Everything, Michael Swaim takes a single joke from The Simpsons and pulls the thread of its origins, unraveling bits of history, pop culture, and otherwise random trivia we never knew we needed. Each week, he’s joined by comedians, Simpsons writers, and pop culture obsessives to break down the gag, decode the references, and school you on all things Simpsons. Class is in session.
