Black holes? Time travel? Why not gambling? The Art of War? Contemporary parenting? Some of the best conversations happen when we’re pushed outside of our comfort zones. So each week on Think Again, we surprise smart people you’ve probably heard of with handpicked gems from Big Think’s archives on every imaginable subject.

I have no idea what a podcast is or how to get one. Think of a podcast as a radio show you can get on the internet, so you can listen any time you want. You have two options: you can listen through a website (this is called streaming). Or, you can download a podcast, which means you’re saving it on your phone, or tablet, or computer, and you can listen to it anytime, even without an internet connection. To Stream: Go to a website, like <a href="http://www.bigthink.com/thinkagain">www.bigthink.com/thinkagain</a>, and click the play button. To Download: Get it delivered to your phone or tablet each week using an app. For iPhones and iPads, use the <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/podcasts/id525463029">Podcasts</a> app. You get it from the App Store (it actually comes installed on newer devices). In the Podcasts app you search for Serial and then hit subscribe. For Android phones and tablets, try the <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.stitcher.app">Stitcher</a> app. Get that from Google Play. In Stitcher, search for Serial and click the plus sign (+), to add it to your Favorites List. Now go to the Favorites List. Tell it to download new episodes by clicking the gear in the upper right corner. Have fun!
