Hosts Josh Clark and Chuck Bryant have spent nearly two decades answering life’s biggest and strangest questions.
One of the world’s most-popular podcasts is bringing its live show to Vancouver this summer.
Josh Clark and Chuck Bryant, the duo behind Stuff You Should Know, will take the stage at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre on Thursday, July 23, for a live recording of their long-running podcast.
For nearly two decades, the pair have built a loyal following by answering questions many people never thought to ask.
“Why did disco become a global phenomenon?”
“How do Ouija boards work as a cultural phenomenon?”
“Could asteroid mining one day become a reality?”
Since launching in 2008, Stuff You Should Know has explored thousands of topics spanning science, history, pop culture and everyday life. The show’s mix of thorough research and easygoing conversation has turned seemingly niche subjects into fascinating stories for millions of listeners around the world.
Having released more than 2,000 episodes and amassed billions of downloads, Stuff You Should Know has remained a favourite among listeners who enjoy learning something new while feeling like they’re part of the conversation.
The live show brings that same experience off the headphones and onto the stage. Rather than simply watching a podcast recording, audiences can expect an evening filled with surprising facts, plenty of laughs and the unscripted chemistry that has made Clark and Bryant such endearing hosts.
Live performances also typically include audience interaction and questions, meaning no two shows are exactly alike.
Whether you’re a longtime listener or simply someone who enjoys a good rabbit hole, the Vancouver stop offers a chance to spend an evening exploring the weird, wonderful and unexpectedly fascinating corners of the world alongside two of podcasting’s most recognizable voices.
