Summary
On this special episode of the Curiosity Podcast, we celebrate the end of our show's first year with a look back at some of the stories you never got to hear. You'll hear stories and lessons from past guests that we didn't get to share the first time around! Plus, hosts Cody Gough and Ashley Hamer let their hair down and give you an inside look at how the show is produced. It's a refreshing (and very entertaining) look back at 2017 and forward towards the future of the Curiosity Podcast!
Among other surprising facts and stories you'll hear, this episode features:
- Bryan Davis, founder and owner of Lost Spirits Distillery, telling a fascinating story about the international alcohol industry (with a hilarious history lesson on the side).
- Dr. Alan Hirsch of the Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation dropping some knowledge about how your sense of smell is linked to your memory and more.
- Handwriting analyst Dale Roberts swapping stories with Cody about the surprising world of hand modeling.
- Dr. Sam Sternberg, CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing expert, discussing classical music and finding some surprising things in common with both Cody and Ashley.
- Some behind-the-scenes fun that could change the way you think about the Curiosity Podcast.

| 0:25.0 | but we're going to have a lot of fun while doing it. |
| 0:27.4 | Look, we've learned a lot on this podcast, |
| 0:29.6 | but as you probably know, as a producer and editor, I have to pick and choose what I put into every |

| 1:19.3 | recording sessions where we did just that. |
| 1:22.2 | Some countries are working to combat this problem, |
