Take Part in a Podcast
The Times has a new podcast that you might like to be a part of called Tell Me Something I Don't Know. We are looking for guest presenters to get up on stage and tell us something fascinating. If you know of an unheralded breakthrough, a cultural quirk, a historical wrinkle, or perhaps just a great, unasked question, you could be selected to participate.
Guests will be invited to one of our tapings in Manhattan this September, which will be turned into a podcast. Also: there will be prizes!  Submit your idea here
Tell Me Something I Don't Know is a partnership of The New York Times and Freakonomics.
