Five for Friday 127

Story Time

Everyone loves a good story, whether that means funny, sad, inspiring, or infuriating; and today, we have more methods than ever of sharing them. Audiobooks, print, blogs, podcasts; so many tales, so little time. Here are a few stories I’ll be enjoying this weekend:

An unbelievable story : catching a dine and dash dater!

A story about a favorite novel; the legacy of Orwell’s 1984.

The story behind the world’s oldest soap.

A story about a math problem. And here are last year’s most infamous viral math problems.

Finally, do you podcast? I only have a few I regularly listen to, but I would love to dive into some of these: Time‘s roundup of the best history podcasts.

Currently Reading: The Critique of Practical Reason by Immanuel Kant

Happy August, and have a lovely weekend!
