The Gist - Behind the Scenes at The Daily

On The Gist, Mike talks about the consequences of fast-tracking a major tax overhaul.

In the interview, how did the team behind The Daily manage to create a show that’s unlike anything we’ve heard before and also oddly perfect for this moment in news? Host Michael Barbaro and managing producer Theo Balcomb say they talked extensively about what they didn’t want to sound like. “I was like, ‘Oh my gosh, I never want to do a jobs report,’ ” says Balcomb. “ ‘Can we promise we’re never going to do a jobs report?’ ”

CrowdScience - What is dust?

It lurks behind sofas and collects in corners, apparently appearing from nowhere. But what is household dust? And should we bother sweeping it away? That’s what Australian listener Moshe wants to know and what Marnie Chesterton is off to find out for this week’s CrowdScience. She embarks on a mission to discover not only what dust is made of, but whether it poses any health risks. Although most people sweep it away without a thought, dust contains all sorts of secrets about our habits and everyday lives. Marnie finds out how dust can reveal the pets you keep, the chemicals in your surroundings, the location of your house and how fecal bacteria can uncover whether more men or women live in your home.

The Goods from the Woods - Episode #173 – “Holiday Spectacular 2017” with Grant Lyon and Neil Charles

In this VERY SPECIAL holiday episode, the GOods from the Woods Boys are visited by two guests of Christmas awesomeness. First up, Rivers and Dr. Pat adjourn to the coziness of the wintry chalet just up the road from Disgraceland to talk to a former Brooklyn Macy's seasonal worker, Neil Charles. Unsurprisingly, Neil is traumatized by Christmas and kinda hates it. Then, back at Disgraceland Studios, we chat it up with Christmas's #1 fan, comedian Grant Lyon. We talk about Christmas booze like cider and eggnog, favorite Christmas movies, and of course we hear some HILARIOUSLY AWFUL Christmas music (Korn has a Christmas song, y'all!). So, if you're at home and can't stand your family anymore or, if on this winter's night a traveler, hit play on this episode of The Goods from the Woods and get into the season or be justified in your hatred of it! Happy Holidays, y'all! Follow Neil on Twitter @NeilCharlesFTW. Follow Grant on Twitter @GrantLyon1.  Follow the show @TheGoodsPod  Rivers is @RiversLangley  Dr. Pat is @PM_Reilly  Mr. Goodnight is @SepulvedaCowboy  Pick up a Goods from the Woods t-shirt at: http://prowrestlingtees.com/TheGoodsPod
