The Internet Says it's True
Hosted by Michael Kent, The Internet Says it’s True is a podcast about learning something new every week. From trivial tidbits of info to more serious topics that should have been taught in school, every week begins with a caller telling Kent a surprising fact they recently learned before he does a deep dive on the subject. Then every episode ends with a “game show” style quick quiz of a guest about the topic.
