Penn Jillette's podcasts have come to an end, but I highly recommend listening to his next to last episode. It features an interview with Mythbuster Adam Savage and is filled with all sorts of useful information.
Such as:
- how effective is hypnotism? (Answer will probably surprise you)
- how far underwater do you have to be to be safe from being shot by a gun? (Answer will definitely surprise you--unless you've seen that particular Mythbusters episode)
- what is the only subject matter that Mythbusters, South Park, and "Bulls Hit" have each done an episode about? (This answer shouldn't surprise you if you are familiar with Penn Jillette's and South Park's humor)
- what is a funkenring and what is it good for?
- what happened when Adam, during his leaner years, couldn't afford to buy a copy of a Penn and Teller book?
- and lots of other stuff too numerous to mention. It's a fun episode.
