Join Will, Mango, and the team as we scour the globe in search of obscure facts, offbeat locales, and hidden histories.

  • What Are Blue Zones?

    What Are Blue Zones?
    Jul 7 2026

    It’s a Part-Time Genius x Skyline Drive: How to Live Forever crossover episode! Places like Ikaria, Greece and Okinawa, Japan are said to hold the secret of longer, healthier life. But how did these so-called Blue Zones get discovered, and is their longevity power real or just a myth? What made them “blue”? (Spoiler, it has nothing to do with the ocean.) And why did the researchers behind the Blue Zones concept have a falling-out that sent them down two dramatically different paths?

  • Did Lafayette Save America? with Nathan Hale!

    Did Lafayette Save America? with Nathan Hale!
    Jul 3 2026

    Sure, we know Lafayette as a street. And a college. And some of us know him as the charismatic Frenchman from Hamilton. But did you know he was France's richest orphan? And that his real name was Gilbert? And he might have been closer to George Washington than anyone really knew. Best-selling author Nathan Hale stops by to talk about his book Lafayette! and the man who inspired it.

  • We Got Milk… But Why?

    We Got Milk… But Why?
    Jun 30 2026

    When did humans develop a taste for other animals’ milk, and how did dairy go from being a public health threat to a daily cereal topping? Why are some people lactose intolerant, while others chug milkshakes without a care in the world? Is A2 milk really better for you? And who’s behind those iconic milk ads? Grab a glass, because Will and Mango are serving up the answers—plus a sneak preview of the plant milks of the future.

    Check out Sarah Wassberg Johnson's website, The Food Historian, and read her essay "Ice Cream and Hospital Ships"
