NO SUCH THING

iHeartPodcasts and Kaleidoscope

Join Manny, Noah, and Devan — three best friends and journalists — as they settle dumb arguments by actually doing the research. Each week, they start with a debate or discussion. Why don’t men ask follow up questions? Should schools ban phones? Is dating an AI chatbot cheating? Then, they go out into the world, talk to experts, conduct experiments, and find the answer.NO SUCH THING is an explainer podcast about pop culture, the internet, and whatever weird thing your group chat can’t agree on. If you’ve ever had a take so strong you had to fact-check it, this show is for you.New episodes on Wednesdays.For more information, please subscribe to our newsletter at www.nosuchthing.show.And if you have any questions you’d like us to get to the bottom of, email us at [email protected] or leave a voicemail: ‪(860) 325-0286.
