Selects: How Famines Work
It's common knowledge that famines are usually caused by major droughts: Rain doesn't fall, crops don't grow, and people go hungry. But recent research suggests that while weather may trigger famines, they may actually be more of a human-made catastrophe. Find out more in this classic episode.

Customer Reviews
Very interesting.....
Who knew?? I found these podcasts to be very interesting and informative. It's refreshing to know that there are people out there who care enough to inform us of interesting facts that fuel our brains rather than the typical trash that floods us daily. Does anybody really care which celebrity went into rehab this week? This makes for much more interesting conversation around the "water cooler". Not to mention that it makes you sound smart :) Keep up the good work!
Hitch hiking
I’ve always thought hitch was taken from hitch a trailer to a vehicle. And hike, as in taking a hike. So...one hitches a ride or hikes the distance.
Best podcast ever!
I’m gonna start by saying I’m sorry your getting all those bad reviews but I personally love all the cool episodes. I’ve listened to the ‘how license plates work’ at least ten times! In fact, I’m listening to it as I’m typing my review! I’M OBSESSED!!!!!!!!!! Quick tip,maybe get a little quicker on starting the podcast, don’t get me wrong, i love all the other things you guys talk about. But maybe edit those small talks in after the episode is done and finished.Again, Josh and Chuck, I’m sorry your getting these horrible reviews. I fall asleep to these so they are really relaxing! Also, to whoever complained about the rock music ads, ITS NOT THEIR FUALT! THEY DON’T CHOOSE YOUR ADS!!!!!!!!!! P.S. you guys should do an episode about the history of leaving painted rocks in parks and how it started. It would be really interesting!
