Well, we did it. We fit an -ics into an -ology. So many of you -- for years -- have been asking for a math episode and I was able to track down the best person in the world for this: Dr. Eugenia Cheng, who wrote an entire book on the math questions we’re too scared to ask, like: IS MATH REAL HOW DO WE EVEN KNOW HOW DID PEOPLE INVENT IT AND WHY DOES IT SCARE ME.

We also talk about cookies.

Did you listen yet? I always looooove hearing what you thought and having a discussion with you wonderful Patrons who make the show possible. Without you I might just be telling Gremmie facts all day but she gets distracted by lizards.

Let’s math chat,

Your Father Alie Ann Ward
