Gary’s Q&A

Listener question & Gary’s response · Transcript passage

Doug Lori McDonald asks, “Are there any show ideas that, while researching, unexpectedly took you down rabbit holes, leading to a multitude of new show ideas?”

Absolutely. It happens all the time. Take the subject of volcanoes. I initially did one on the Mount Tambora Eruption of 1815. That opened the door to Vesuvius and Paricutin, and a general episode about volcanoes. However, there are tons more volcano-related topics including big eruptions like Mount Saint Helens and Krakatoa, as well as culturally significant ones like Mount Fuji.

I’ve done or am in the middle of similar series on the planets, elements, rivers, and small countries.
