Bananas with Answer in Progress
SciShow Tangents
Podcasting at Ungodly Hours
This chapter features a diverse group of participants humorously discussing the absurdities of recording a podcast late at night. Through lively banter, they explore productivity during unconventional hours, personal morning routines, and even share a whimsical poem about bananas.
It's all right there on the tin - this episode is BANANAS. And not just because we have the most guests we've ever had in Tangents history. Not even just because one of them is a super special surprise RETURN friend of the pod. And not even because we check out some flowers that are way more uncomfortable to look at than you think. No, this episode is bananas because we're talking about (you guessed it) bananas!
