Planet Money: Episode #627 - The Miracle Apple Explains all those times you bit into a Red Delicious apple and why it tasted pretty crappy. I will never look at apples the same way again.

The Tim Ferriss Show: Chris Sacca on Being Different and Making Billions Chris Sacca is one of the world's most successful early stage investors.

Reply All: Episode #29 - The Takeover Australian teenager creates a Facebook Group that parodies adult office life, which takes on a life of its own. Then real adults come and ruin the party. |
Reply All: Episode #27 - The Fever Crazy story about the perils of online dating. The title refers to the term Yellow Fever. But the story is much creepier and crazier than what you would expect. |
