Learn something new with Cracked. The sometimes political, historical, nerdy and always obscure podcast dives into current events, unique history and fun facts you may not know. Listen as a mix of experts, writers and comedians with a variety of opinions discuss interesting stories on episodes ranging from “Ridiculous Myths and Insane Facts About U.S. Presidents” to “Why Everyone is Wrong.”

With more than 1,000 episodes recorded, the Stuff You Should Know podcast is a fun, educational story covering nearly all genres of interest. Both hosts also write for the How Stuff Works website, so take a quick peek at the stories and interesting information online before downloading.
