Is Garlic Self-Cleaning? Plus Curling Trivia w/ Jo Firestone

Josh Gondelman and Matt Bragg welcome comedian Jo Firestone for bedtime tangents, missed audiobooks, and a truly puzzling new word.

What You’ll Hear

Falling Asleep Mid-Plot: Jo shares her audiobook routine, including the joys of missing huge chunks of a very juicy mystery and simply accepting she may never know who did it.

The Anti-Grombolio Theory: A deep, gentle spiral into whether garlic, ovens, hair, and noses might all be self-cleaning—and what to call that, exactly.

Curling Trivia at Bedtime: A surprisingly demoralizing pub quiz about curling, complete with wild guesses, wrong answers, and one very wholesome tradition.
