Josh Clark and Charles (Chuck) Bryant are the very charming co-hosts for a very informative Podcast. They wander off on little tantrums that I find rather endearing. Stuff you should know covers a multitude of topics, common and not so common. My favorite episodes are the Halloween story time they have. I also really enjoyed the How a Flea Circus Works and The Future of Renewable Energy where they did a rare interview (which I usually hate with a passion) with Bill Gates. If random knowledge is something you love to have and share this is a podcast for you.
  
It's no secret that I adore Harry Potter & his world tremendously. That made this book a bittersweet read for me, with the knowledge that this is the end of the character, or so JK says. This was a great story! I was hesitant to read it knowing it was a screenplay but, it was an easy read. It didn't take long for it to flow like a novel. This is another great story in the Harry Potter universe. If it is really the end then it is a perfect ending. If not, then I can't wait to see what's next!!
  
Kate has finally landed a job as a race car driver. Unfortunately, it's at the expense of the man she found murdered. With the police and gossip thinking she did it, Kate jumps in to find the real killer.

I felt the author was trying too hard to share her racing knowledge with us, and the result slowed the story down. Some of the characters were a tad under developed as well. Still, the climax was great and the solution was logical.
