We Fact Up show

We Fact Up

Summary: We Fact Up was born out of the notion that before the internet existed people would have to actually try and work things out for themselves when asked a question. Like, “why did the CIA put batteries into cats during the 1960’s” or “how long would you survive in space for”. Hosted by Dave Zwolenski and Matthew "Redd" Peterson come with us as we embark on a journey to understand life's hidden mysteries, one stupid conversation at a time. No fact will ever be the same.
