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
research and discuss a wide variety of topics-always working to
uncover the weird, fascinating, delightful, or unexpected pieces of
any given subject, and then talking about it together in an
accessible and humorous way. The pair have now taken their
near-boundless "whys" and "hows" from your earbuds to the pages of
a book for the first time-and with it comes loads of new content,
covering subjects about which they've long wondered or wanted to
explore in greater detail. Follow along as they dig into the
underlying stories and interesting ways things fit into the world,
touching on everything from the origin of Murphy beds, to the
history of facial hair, to the psychology of being lost. An
additional layer of visual material allows the duo to further
embellish their engaging storytelling and bring these topics to
life in a snappy new way-including charts and graphs,
illustrations, and sidebars for rabbit-hole tangents and wandering
digressions. 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)

out by exploring the 1,000 questions set out in 100 categories that
make up this Wolverhampton Wanderers quiz book. It's not often that
books on football make reference to Sherlock Holmes, Led Zeppelin,
the Grand National, Donald Trump, The Goon Show, Premium Bonds,
Monty Python, golf and Homer Simpson, but this one does! Call
Yourself a Wolves Fan? is a quirky, challenging affair for real
Wolves fans who can test themselves or take each other on, with the
emphasis on enjoyment and discovery. Try these for size: One member

goalkeepers at the same time with the same surname and the same
first initial, who were they? You will struggle to find anything as
comprehensive as this eclectic collection. It's a must for Wolves
fans of all ages and you might not see anything quite like it
again.
