One fascinating thing, every morning, in 5 minutes. Why is boarding a plane so slow, and do airlines like it that way? How did Teflon end up everywhere? Who invented kindergarten, and why? HigherIQ is a daily show for curious people who want something worth sharing at dinner tonight. No doom, no politics, no 40-minute commitment. One story, well told, that makes you the most interesting person in the room. New episodes every weekday morning. Press play and learn something.
