History of the High 5

I always figured the high 5 had just been around forever. Like the wheel, or god, or The Simpsons. Turns out people have only been highing fives for a few decades, and on this episode of Radiolab they track it all down to the first high five ever (kind of).

Crazy bike race across America

This was the first podcast I ever posted on the blog, but it's so good I'm posting it again (and because I mentioned it on the Brain Food Dude podcast this week).

It's an episode of Radiolab titled "limits." As a whole it was probably my favorite podcast of 2010.

Évariste Galois

This week on Radiolab they talk about Évariste Galois, a mathematical genius who was killed in a duel at the age of 20. I'm so glad people don't duel anymore.
