Why Did Australian Schools Teach Everyone to Make Paper?

Dropping an episode has done exactly what basic maths suggested it would do to the podcast downloads, so Ned and Josh consider making one perfectly respectable episode people can safely recommend to friends. Josh finally discovers what The Mighty Mighty Bosstones meant by “knock on wood”, his wildly inconsistent intelligence gets examined, a business turns manual labour into adult PE, and Aaron Pierre’s physique in Lanterns provides some fairly compelling workout motivation. There’s charging-port lint to excavate, pimple-popping videos to banish, a 100-year-old World War II veteran receiving 4,000 birthday cards, and a search for the perfect person to congratulate every American centenarian. School brings Pythagoras theorem, homemade paper, stolen office supplies, one former radio worker becoming an AI success story, a maths teacher crushing some rare enthusiasm and an osmosis shortcut that immediately falls apart.
