Wikiphilia
Summary: Each show focuses on one Wikipedia article, and one contributor (Kevin Teague, Michael Tappan, Blake Davis, or Steve) leads the show. We try to bring you subject matter that you've never heard before, and won't be featured on shows like the History Channel, Discover Channel, or even other Podcasts (e.g., This American Life, How Stuff Works). We believe that Wikipedia has some truly incredible content that can be best retold via Podcast. The three dudes of Wikiphilia are all Wikipedia nuts, and use this podcast to convey their philia for the website.
