This post made me think to recommend the series ‘Connections’ by James Burke if you vibe on the strange relationship between odd events and inventions in history that lead us…here.
Caveat: it was filmed in the 70s so enjoy polyester and bell bottoms, but also scary prescient predictions, some of which have already come to pass.
That’s what I did, because it’s something I actually want to financially support, and there are plenty of other good shows on the service as well… but not enough for more than a month. That said, if you prefer to sail the seas I can point you in the right direction…
I want to recommend the podcast Go Fact Yourself . It’s a trivia podcast with minor celebrity guests as contestants. The trivia questions asked are from one of three categories which the contestants provide ahead of time as something they are an expert in outside of their field of work. You get to meet some interesting people, and the experts they bring onto the show to judge the final answers really make the show and creates some very interesting conversations. It’s basically a show letting people talk about some of their favourite things.

Goddammit I was gonna post the exact same thing.
FYI, Burke JUST released a whole new season of Connections on CuriosityStream.
That looks great. Pretty cheap too for one month which would be enough to binge it.

Cheers. I appreciate the offer but I think I’ll spend the few quid. Going to give the old series a whirl first
So… If I were asking for a friend…
