Mind-Blowing Stuff Without Feeling Like a Science

I wasn’t sure if this would be too dense, but it totally wasn’t. It’s full of those random, fascinating facts that make you go, “wait, how did I not know that?” Some parts had me straight up pausing to Google more. It hits on brain science, nature, the universe and basically all the big questions, with a chill vibe. You don’t need to be a science nerd to enjoy it, just curious. Super cool listen for long drives or chill nights.
