Oprahdemics - Oprah Gets Duped by James Frey
In 2006, Oprah Winfrey picked James Frey’s “A Million Little Pieces” as a book club pick, catapulting Frey into the literary limelight. Soon after, though, reports emerged that he’d fabricated much of the memoir and his most harrowing experiences with drugs and violence. So Oprah confronted Frey on her show, in a very awkward interview. Years later, though, she apologized to Frey for the confrontation. We break it all down and what it means to be duped, be called out, and show contrition.

Everything Everywhere Daily - What is IQ?
For ages, people have tried to categorize people by intelligence. However, it wasn’t until the early 20th century that attempts were made to provide a quantifiable measure of human intelligence.
In 1912, a German psychologist by the name of William Stern dubbed a method of scoring intelligence tests called an intelligence quotient.
Every since there, there has been controversy surrounding the method of scoring and the very idea of scoring intelligence.
Learn more about the intelligence quotient, also known as an IQ score, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
