Intellectual Potluck
Ever wondered about the stories history class skipped over? Or had a question so odd you weren’t sure who to ask? We are serving up a feast of fascinating deep dives and expert interviews, exploring the weird, wonderful, and sometimes overlooked corners of history, science, and beyond.
Each episode is a potluck of curiosity—sometimes a gripping historical mystery, other times a conversation with someone who has the answers to questions you didn’t even know you had. From the forgotten moments that shaped the world to the surprising insights hiding in plain sight, we’re here to uncover the stories that make you say, “Wait, why didn’t I learn this in school?”
If you love unexpected discoveries, fresh perspectives, and the thrill of learning something new, pull up a chair. There’s always something interesting on the table at Intellectual Potluck.

Gender Equity: Living in a Barbie World
To kick off this brand new podcast, Intellectual Potluck host Sam is focusing on Unpopular Opinions, whether that's from Sam or her guest for the episode! To start Sam is joined by her partner Grant as they explore gender biases in the post-Barbie world!
We look at the cultural impact of Barbie, an the subsequent award shows, before diving in to some deeper topics, covering the gender pay gap and exploring the difference between equity and equality.
This is our first ever episode, so we are still working out a few kinks, but that didn't stop us from having a great chat and rant.
