Did anyone notice that a presidential election is about to happen? I know, right?

Did you know there's a presidential election right around the corner? You couldn't have guessed. It's not like it's in the news/ads/television/radio/blogs/internet or anything.

I just wanted to write a note real quick about a great podcast that you should be listening to called "<a href="http://entertainment.howstuffworks.com/hsw-shows/stuff-you-should-know-podcast.htm"><em>Stuff You Should Know</em></a>." I've been listening to it for about six months or so and it has some great material.

I listened to one yesterday about the electoral college and how it affects the presidential elections. I had no idea. I thought I knew, but I didn't. It goes into great detail about the history, some of the conflicts, and the nitty gritty of it all. Here is the <a href="http://podcasts.howstuffworks.com/hsw/podcasts/sysk/2012-08-28-sysk-electoral-college.mp3">direct link for listening online</a>, but you can also go into iTunes and just search for "Stuff You Should Know." <a href="http://history.howstuffworks.com/american-history/electoral-college.htm">The article is here if you want to read it.</a>

Whether you're a Libertarian, Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Green Party, or disinterested voter, it's a great episode to listen to.

<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuff_You_Should_Know">The podcast is run by Josh Clark and Charles Bryant</a>. It's a must listen to. I've learned more about shark attacks, beheadings, lobotomies, other faiths, the Musketeers, the economy, Scooby Doo, icebergs, roller derby, gas prices, oil spills and whatever by listening. Go check them out.
