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.

Happy New Year!! Hope you all had lovely and relaxing holidays, and are ready to celebrate 2021 with what we think is our worst episode ever! This is the last of our unreleased group, so enjoy it! Hopefully next week you will be stunned by the incredible difference in our research and banter skills when we jump back into the present.
In this week's episode, Zack has 30 minutes to become an "expert" on... The Microwave! For some reason, a quote that is maybe from Albert Einstein features heavily in this episode. It's a little off the rails. But once we finally get into microwaves, it gets good. Although we do refer to the inventor of the microwave as "chocolate boy" (for a good reason, at least), and it's very uncomfortable. Lots of crazy words in this one... Raytheon, magnatron, diathermy, whew! This one does have a happy accident story (remember, chocolate boy), which you know we love. So that's fun! Zack really works hard to explain some serious science in this one. Electrons, wave functions, it's nuts. Cheers to him, but also, we don't really know what we are talking about. We are confident in the fact that Percy Spencer invented the microwave, first tested it on popcorn, and then exploded an egg. In his honor, and to celebrate this wonky episode exploding onto the podcast scene, we shall do those things today as well.
Highlights include:
- Microwaves used as therapy
- A six-foot tall, 750 pound microwave!
- Zack explains how microwave technology works!
