ABOUT NO STUPID QUESTIONS:
Research psychologist Angela Duckworth (author of Grit) and tech and sports executive Mike Maughan really like to ask people questions, and they believe there’s no such thing as a stupid one. So they have a podcast where they can ask each other as many “stupid questions” as they want. New episodes each week.
ABOUT THE FREAKONOMICS RADIO NETWORK:
Freakonomics began as a book, which led to a blog, a documentary film, more books, a pair of pants, and in 2010, a podcast called Freakonomics Radio. Hosted by Stephen J. Dubner, it’s one of the most popular podcasts in the world, with a reputation for storytelling that is both rigorous and entertaining. Its archive of more than 500 episodes is available, for free, on any podcast app, and the show airs weekly on NPR stations. Freakonomics Radio is now the flagship show of the Freakonomics Radio Network, which includes the podcasts No Stupid Questions, People I (Mostly) Admire, and The Economics of Everyday Things.

I made it through 18 minutes of this blather. If they ever did get to a point, could someone respond to this comment?

[@PLdemorygray]

The repeated use of the word "crap" suggests a lack of understanding, or at least seriousness. It really disappointed me.

But somethings to people are crap, owning crap is something we all have the privilege to do. Some things are crap and some things seem like crap but our consciousness gives them value. What is your issue with crap and do you truly believe you don’t own any?
