Hey there, I'm Rachel Feldman, and I host a podcast from Popular Science called The Weirdest Thing I Learned This Week.

From flying Ford Pintos to the world's most illegal cheese, The Weirdest Thing I Learned This Week is the ultimate source for all things interesting, informative, and most importantly, fricking weird.
