Join co-hosts Zack and Katie as they learn about a different topic every week. Real-life couple Zack Radvansky and Kathryn Feeney are two curious individuals who love learning. Although Katie is in her third year of law school and Zack didn't go to college, they never run out of fascinating things to learn about together. In this podcast, every episode Katie challenges Zack to "become an expert" on a totally random topic - but the catch is, he only has 30 minutes to do it. Using the power of the internet, and a little humor and love, Zack and Katie want to prove that no matter who you are, or how much education you have, anyone can learn about anything in the world if they put their mind to it.

In today's episode, Katie has 30 minutes to become an "expert" on... Antarctica! And a little bit of the Arctic too! Mainly the differences between the two and why Antarctica is so dang cold. Because, dang! Is it cold down there! it's the only continent that humans have never lived on - except for now, when a thousand or so crazy scientists hunker down there year round to study all kinds of important stuff that makes the world go round. Antarctica may not be home to any indigenous people, but it is home to penguins, and the now (thanks to this podcast) world-famous wingless midge. Thanks to the Antarctic Treaty, no one really "owns" Antarctica. It's a special place for research and being chill. (Very chill.) Hopefully this episode will get you curious about the southernmost place on the earth. And if it does, maybe watch Where'd You Go, Bernadette on Hulu! It's got awesome shots of real Antarctica, learn about the terrible Drake Passage, and it all takes place at Christmas time. So make some hot cocoa, snuggle in, and drum up some residuals for Katie.
Highlights include:
- The Wingless Midge: Antarctica's only land animal
- How Australia stole Antarctica's name
- Penguins!
