Esperanto on "How Stuff Works"

Tim Westover's picture

"Stuff You Should Know", produced by the great website HowStuffWorks.com, is one of the most popular podcasts on iTunes. Recently, Esperanto was featured on their podcast "Three Innovations We Need Right Now" (teleportation, a universal language, and a second Einstein).

Here's the link to listen to the podcast: http://podcasts.howstuffworks.com/hsw/podcasts/sysk/2009-06-16-sysk-thre...

HowStuffWorks is headquartered right here in Atlanta, and my long-time friend Ben works on their podcasts. He'd spread the word about Esperanto to Josh and Chuck, the talent on "Stuff You Should Know." (Ben's current podcast at HowStuffWorks is the car-themed one, "High Speed Stuff," but there's rumors of a new one that he'll be helming, "Stuff THEY Don't Want You to Know," which sounds fantastic.)

It's quite a positive mention of Esperanto. They bring up "Incubus," of course, but also Lernu and some other resources. So thanks, Josh and Chuck and Ben! If you enjoyed the podcast, they might appreciate some feedback at stuffpodcast@howstuffworks.com.

I sent Josh and Chuck an e-mail, which they read in a subsequent podcast and then plugged the Esperanto-USA.org website. So, thanks again, Stuff You Should Know!
