Brain Junk

Everything you never knew you wanted to know!

Author: Trace Kerr and Amy Barton

Brain Junk is an off-the-wall, totally unbelievable but true podcast where Amy Barton and Trace Kerr shake up science & history in the hunt for answers to questions you never knew you wanted to know. We bring you the inside scoop on things like: Can goldfish drive? How do whales not drown while eating? Who had the first prosthetic eye? We cannonball off the question high dive every Tuesday -- those of you in the front seats, bring your ponchos. We're out to flood your brain.
