The Ins and Outs of Organ Donation
This week we explore the ins and outs of organ donation. 95% of Americans support organ donation but only 58% of Americans are registered organ donors. What the heck, right? Why is that? Well, luckily you have us. Because we blunder out way into finding out why that is.
Every week on Stranger Still, we take the questions you’ve never questioned to ask and try to answer them. We want to make you laugh and teach you something interesting at the same time. So join us every Wednesday for another fun filled learn!
If you’ve got a strange question you want answered ask us on Facebook, tweet us @StrangerStill, or drop us an email at podcast@strangerstillshow.com. To find other great podcasts, head on over to FlyingMachine.Network
