Show Notes

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

On the fifth floor of the US Supreme court building is a basketball court referred to as the highest court in the land. Originally a store room, it was converted to a gym sometime in the 1940's. Only court employees are allowed to use it and there is a sign warning people not to play basketball if court is in session and not to assume court isn't in session, since the courtroom is directly below.
