  • Why can’t we breathe under water?

  • How much does planet Earth weigh?

Because each episode is so short, you can discover the answers to everything you ever wanted to know on your morning coffee run, on breaks during your sports game, or while waiting for your train to work. BrainStuff will expand your mind—and make you the science guru among your friends. BrainStuff is also a great pairing with any of the How Stuff Works family of podcasts also available on iHeartRadio (#shamelessplug).
