5 More Lies Your Teacher Taught You
This week, we explore, “5 more lies your teacher taught you.” We’ve talked about how there’s more than 5 sense, how people didn’t think the world was flat. Now it’s time to tackle tongue maps, the myth that Einstein failed math, and more!
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
