Stuff You Should Know has been one of the top podcasts since it started in 2008. The podcast overviews and simplifies a truly extensive range of topics, from the history of refrigeration to how Saturn works to forensic dentistry and peacocks. Chuck and Josh released over 1,500 episodes, toured the world, and even had a TV show that ran for one season on the Science Channel. They also have a Trivial Pursuit game and they once had their own category on Jeopardy’s National College Championship.

Chuck and Josh join Google to give a behind the scenes look at how they’ve become experts in educating us about common things and how they work.
