Listen Rinse Repeat

Release Date: 06/22/2020

Your Brain on Facts is a half-hour podcast of things you didn’t know, things you thought you knew, and things you never knew you never knew, covering topics as diverse as science-fiction, funerals, food origins, heroic animals, and the strategic butter reserve.

Before she started the Your Brain On Facts podcast to safely vent the copious bonus facts in her brain, Moxie LaBouche performed and produced burlesque, specifically "nerd-lesque." It was her privilege to produce the only George R. R. Martin-approved burlesque tribute to Game of Thrones and even to play for the man himself.
Moxie has presented a local TED talk, is the prolific author of unfinished fiction, knows seven words of Latin, and previously earned her living as a goat farmer and soap maker. She is also the creator and co-host of the Science With Savannah, Age 7 podcast and YouTube channel.
Moxie lives in Virginia with her husband and a dozen or so pets.

TRANSCRIPT

In 1980, Troy Leon Greg and three other convicted murderers escaped death row in Georgia. The escape wasn’t discovered until Greg called a newspaper to brag about it. He was killed the same night in a bar fight as he got aggressive with a waitress. He actually would have lived slightly longer if he’d stayed in jail.
