I'm Natalie Moore. I fell in love with soap operas when I was just five years old, and I still

watch them. Their television's longest scripted series and have zero reruns. Now let me tell you,

soap operas aren't just some silly art form. They are significant. In this season of making,

Stories Without End from WB EZ Chicago.

Join me as I share how the genre began, their social impact, and why these stories endure.

Listen wherever you get your podcast.

From WBEZ Chicago, this is Nerdad.

I'm Greta Johnson, and we have somehow made it to yet another Friday,

whatever that means. And we have a jam-packed show for you today. I get to chat with the author of a new book about a very interesting topic. We as humans are just so impressed with our penises.

And because of my research background, I knew that there were a lot

more penises out there that were a tad more, you know, kind of on the wow end of the spectrum.

And we're going to introduce you to a concept that might just change your life, the snacking cake.

But first, here to help us make sense of the week that was our two pretty great panelists.

We have today, Hurry Kondobolu and W. Kamau Bell.

They are comedians and very smart humans and friends.

And they host the podcast Politically Reactive together.

Hurry Kamau. Hey.

Hello.

I am so excited that you got both our names right at the same time because that doesn't happen all the time.

I mean, it kind of seems like the least I could do.

Actually, it's funny, Harry.

I actually was like, wow, both of them.
