Think About It Michael
Thinking starts quietly, then builds everything loud: cathedrals, symphonies, apologies, terrible mistakes, and the small kindness that changes a day. The episode begins with that simple fact and turns it into a practical challenge: develop metacognition, the skill of noticing your own thoughts, and use it to improve critical thinking. […]
Time is the thing we trust most and the thing we understand least. We start with a deceptively simple question: how long is one day? From there, we unpack why solar time and sidereal time disagree by about four minutes, and how that tiny gap reshapes the night sky over […]
Moving forces a brutal question: what do you keep when every box has a weight limit? From a crowded Cape Cod headquarters to a new life in Los Angeles, we talk through the emotional logic of “stuff” and why ordinary objects refuse to stay ordinary. A mystery key, an empty […]
The best discoveries are not always buried at the end of the Earth. A lot of them sit right where we can see them, waiting for someone to take one more look. That is the thread running through this story-driven podcast: curiosity as a practical skill, not a personality quirk. […]
Send us Fan Mail A capybara sprints into freedom, a buffalo becomes a political lightning rod, and a cemetery turns out to be one of the biggest bee neighborhoods scientists have ever documented. That’s where we start, and it only gets better from there. We’re coming to you from Cape […]

Send us Fan Mail I’m back behind the mic after a long silence, and I’m doing it without Anne, the absolute love of my life. Losing her changes everything about how this show feels, but I still want a place where we can hang out, be curious, and talk about […]
Election Day crackles through the studio as we kick off with a Springsteen surprise and a reminder to vote, then veer into the strange economics of spectacle: The Naked Cowboy, busking myths, and why consistency can out-earn talent in the right crossroads. From there our patience runs out on Halloween creep—medical shows in silly glasses, […]
A ballet clip sent us spiraling back to Kate Bush, and that simple scroll unlocked a bigger conversation: how we hear things differently with time, and why owning your work can change the arc of your career. We start with Wuthering Heights—divisive, daring, unforgettable—and trace a line to Stranger Things, […]
