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, again! In the first new episode of 2021, Katie has 30 minutes to become an "expert" on... Times Square! We watched the ball drop in Times Square this year, and even though it was weird without all the people, we were happy to see the tradition live on. But what's the deal with Times Square? Why is it called that? It's not a square, so truly a mystery. But a mystery we solved! From its humble beginnings as Longacre Square, to its seedy history in the 1980s, Times Square is a real joy to learn about. That ball? It has been been dropping for over 100 years! The Disney fixation of Times Square is fairly new, but the big bright ads are not. Also - a throwback to our chewing gum episode! It’s a great way to kick off 2021. Come dig into some Bubba Gump Shrimp with us and enjoy!
Highlights Include:
- One million people watch the ball drop in person on New Year’s Eve
- Times Square is not a square- it’s bow-tie shaped!
- The biggest LED sign in the world
