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, Zack has 30 minutes to become an expert on... Silly Putty! A fun toy that is really kinda weird if you think about it. Why does it come in an egg? And why is it that weird fleshy color? Spoiler alert, we did not get the answer to that second question. But we *think* we got the answer to the first one! Another happy accident story - you know how we love those - this one out of a Work War II rubber shortage. The history of silly putty includes a battle of the patent grabbers, a woman boxed out of ownership (typical), and some pretty gritty science talk to try and explain the physical characteristics of this well-known but little-understood children's toy. Zack coined it the "original fidget spinner," and we are sticking with it.
Highlights include:
- Non-Newtonian Fluids
- A Silly Putty and Play-Doh mix-up (Doh!)
- A $147 loan
