About this listen

 Wait, That’s Random is a conversation-driven podcast built around curiosity, tangents, and the unexpected directions a good discussion can take. Episodes often start with a simple thought or odd observation and then follow wherever it leads. One idea sparks another, side stories take over, and conversations drift into places no one planned. Some episodes explore strange moments from history, others wander into completely different territory. If you enjoy relaxed, curiosity-driven conversations that make you stop and think, “wait… that’s random,” you’ll feel right at home.C.L. Berns Social Sciences
