    Introducing: No Such Thing

    06/05/2026 | 13 mins.
    I'm excited to share a preview of a new podcast I think you’d enjoy: No
    Such Thing. It's a show where three best friends and journalists settle
    their dumb arguments — and yours — by actually doing the research.

    Hosts Manny Fidel, Noah Friedman, and Devan Joseph start each episode with an argument using just their gut feelings. Then they go out into the world, investigate, talk to experts, and conduct some experiments. Finally, the guys bring their findings back to the group to see if they can change minds,enlighten each other, and move past their emotional truths.
    Find No Such Thing on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get podcasts. New
    episodes out Wednesdays. The entire episode about featured in today's show can be heard here.
