This program is read by the authors and includes an audio exclusive bonus conversation.

From the duo behind the massively successful and award-winning podcast Stuff You Should Know comes an unexpected look at things you thought you knew.

Josh Clark and Chuck Bryant started the podcast Stuff You Should Know back in 2008 because they were curious - curious about the world around them, curious about what they might have missed in their formal educations, and curious to dig deeper on stuff they thought they understood.

As it turns out, they aren't the only curious ones. They've since amassed a rabid fan base, making Stuff You Should Know one of the most popular podcasts in the world. Armed with their inquisitive natures and a passion for sharing, they uncover the weird, fascinating, delightful, or unexpected elements of a wide variety of topics.

The pair has now taken their near-boundless "whys" and "hows" to the chapters of an audiobook for the first time - featuring a completely new array of subjects that they’ve long wondered about and wanted to explore. Follow along as the two dig into the underlying stories of everything from the origin of Murphy beds, to the history of facial hair, to the psychology of being lost.

Have you ever wondered about the world around you and wished to see the magic in everyday things? Come get curious with Stuff You Should Know. With Josh and Chuck as your guide, there’s something interesting about everything (...except maybe jackhammers).

Interesting reading

I enjoyed listening to other information junkies like me talk about interesting and unusual topics. This was a whole book filled with that.

Ive been a fan since 2012. Thank you for helping me get through a five-year battle by turning something so difficult into something educational—and for helping me sleep in the hospital when I needed it most. Now I fall asleep listening to the podcast. Truly grateful. 🥳

Informative and Entertaining.

Fun, interesting, no topic overstays its welcome. A wide breadth of interesting topics presented perfectly.

Josh and Chuck are wonderful!

I have long been a fan of the SYSK Podcast and hearing them in this audio book was just like listening to series of "Shorts" from the beloved podcast. I did miss their banter, however, true to form the topics were interesting and informative. Thanks again guys, you make many pieces of my week very enjoyable.
