The Book of Thunks by Ian Gilbert

The Book of Questions by Gregory Stock

Is an official executioner a murderer?

Would you rather a family member married a traffic warden or a millionaire con artist?

Would a Martian know a beautiful woman if it saw one?

Is it better to do your best and lose than it is to perform below par and win?

If a waiter leaves an item off the bill and you say nothing, is that stealing?

Are you a different person by the end of each day?

Could you ever learn too much?

If your name is part of who you are, would someone with the same name as you have a similar identity?

If cows evolved to be cleverer, should we stop eating them?

Can you be afraid of fairies?

If I read a magazine in a shop without paying for it, is that stealing?

Would a baby born on a deserted island know right from wrong?

If genetic research identifies that you have a condition that means you will die in ten years, should you be told, whether you want to know or not?

Is it okay for your job to be really boring if it pays well?

Would you be happy if you had all you wanted?

Would you play Russian roulette with 1 in 10 chance, if winning meant you got $100,000,000?

Would you take your dream holiday for one month, if it meant you couldn't remember it?


Two friends who make videos on the internet decided to start talking into microphones. Hello Internet is the long-running, occasionally vexed, and deeply idiosyncratic conversation between CGP Grey and Brady Haran. What began as an informal chat between two creators about the peculiarities of YouTube has evolved into a sprawling audio documentary of their lives, projects, and endless curiosities. An episode might dissect the nuances of flag design, the ethics of automation, or the proper way to load a dishwasher, often spiraling into heated yet good-natured debates they call "football" or "plane crash corner." It’s a show about the friction between Grey’s systematic, robot-adjacent worldview and Brady’s chaotic, humanist documentary-maker energy. You’re listening in on a friendship that’s equal parts collaborative and combative, where the topics are just the starting point for something much more personal. This isn't a structured interview podcast but a meandering dialogue between two very different minds, recorded in real time. It’s about work, life, the internet, and whatever else happens to be on their minds that week, making for a consistently unpredictable and engaging listen. The appeal lies in the specific chemistry of the hosts, turning mundane observations into compelling audio. You become a silent third participant in a conversation that has been going on for years, picking up running jokes, longstanding grievances, and a genuine sense of two people figuring things out as they go.
