- Absolute Edutainment
This podcast has somehow made me smarter and stupider at the same time. The puns are the absolute best/worst and completely groan inducing (in the best way) and the creative thinking skills it has ingrained in me are absolutely noticeable. But really the hosts are Caroline, Ella, and Tom - even if it’s the other Tom’s name on the tin.
Oh also they’ve had Alec from Technology Connections as a guest a couple times, which I really appreciated as a TC fan!

LOVE that Huw Morris submitted a question. It truly was.
Different question but fun Additional info— The Westin also ironed your dollar bills for a time!
Been here since the first episode and I always love when I can get a question from the first clue alone (not often, but is still magical!) Very much enjoy listening to each episode and introducing new people to the podcast :))

I used to have a solid podcast rotation. Then I found this podcast. I’ve listened to the last 130 episodes of lateral without listening to any other podcasts. It has been my go-to everyday. Incredible.
