Facts Machine is a podcast by and for people who are curious about everything - but especially the things that make them laugh. As scientists who moonlight as pub trivia hosts, it’s their job to be curious about interesting questions and to be motivated to search for answers. Accordingly, their podcast asks and answers questions like: Why is the nation of Finland rising out of the ocean? What is the legal definition of a cookie? Why were the Apollo 16 astronauts so gassy? And which animals just really suck? In each episode of Facts Machine, they explore questions like these by sharing and discussing three fascinating facts and one pub-style trivia quiz, all loosely inspired by the episode’s theme (and accompanied by more than their fair share of puns along the way).
