Stuff Smart People Like
Summary: A weekly podcast about the finer things in life. That is, the things enjoyed by intelligent and educated folks. Partly serious, partly satirical. We discuss all manner of topics including sports, entertainment, politics, and current events. Sometimes we have a special segment such as an interview, a trivia game, a special guest, or a skit. We also provide plenty of "smart suggestions" that we feel will be enjoyed by the intellectual crowd.
