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.
