Über diesen Titel

 1000 Things You Should Know is a smart, fast-paced podcast that delivers essential, strange, and often-overlooked knowledge — one episode at a time. Hosted by Ezra Wade, a wry and curious guide with a knack for making complex ideas feel simple and alive, the show dives into the things we wish we learned in school (or paid more attention to if we did). Each episode explores three different topics — spanning practical skills, historical truths, scientific oddities, forgotten facts, and cultural insights. Whether it’s how to start a fire with no tools, why the Library of Alexandria really burned, or how flat Earth myths survive today, Ezra blends clarity, dry humor, and wonder to make sure every fact sticks. This isn’t trivia. It’s the good stuff — the kind of knowledge that helps you understand the world better, survive it more skillfully, and see connections where most people don’t look. Because nobody knows everything.
But you can know a lot more.

  • How to Perform Breast and Testicular Self-Exams: Quick Life-Saving Health Checks for Early Cancer Detection

    How to Perform Breast and Testicular Self-Exams: Quick Life-Saving Health Checks for Early Cancer Detection
    Jul 15 2025
    Welcome back, listeners, to 1000 Things You Need to Know. Today we’re talking about something you might not think about until your doctor brings it up—and then you promise to Google it later but never do. We’re diving into how to perform a self breast or testicular exam. Because regular self-checks are one of those quick life hacks that could literally save your life.

    Let’s start with breast self-exams. Anyone with breast tissue—yes, that includes you, guys, too—should get familiar with how things usually look and feel. The National Breast Cancer Foundation recommends setting aside a moment once a month, ideally a few days after your period ends if you have one, when things aren’t lumpy from hormones. Here’s what you do: stand in front of a mirror, shirt off, hands on your hips. Look for changes in size, shape, or color. Are there any dimples, puckers, or skin that's gone rogue? Now, raise your arms overhead and give yourself another look.

    Okay, time to get hands-on. Lie down or do this in the shower, whichever is more comfortable. Use the pads of your three middle fingers—think of them as the detectives here. Move in small circles starting at the outside edge of the breast, gradually spiraling in toward the nipple. Don’t forget the upper chest and armpit area; breast tissue likes to wander. Use light, medium, and firm pressure—you want to check deep as well as right under the skin. If you feel a hard lump, knot, thickened area, or see any discharge from the nipple, don’t panic, but do call your healthcare provider.

    Now, let’s talk testicular self-exams—super important, especially for guys aged 15 to 35, since that's the most common age group for testicular cancer. It’s best to do this exam after a warm shower when things are, well, relaxed. Hold your testicle gently between your thumb and fingers and roll it—think of exam time as when your testicles get their own security checkpoint. You’re feeling for any lumps, bumps, or changes in size, shape, or firmness. A normal testicle is smooth and firm, kind of like a peeled, hard-boiled egg, and one might hang a little lower than the other. If you feel anything unusual—a lump, a nodule, or you notice swelling or pain—make an appointment with your doctor. Most lumps are not cancer, but early detection is a game changer.

    Here’s the takeaway: no one knows your body like you do. Monthly self-exams help you spot changes early, and early detection can make all the difference. Plus, it’s a two-minute investment in yourself—think of it as your own personal health check-in.

  • Cell Phone Plans Decoded: Insider Tips to Save Money and Avoid Hidden Fees in 2024

    Cell Phone Plans Decoded: Insider Tips to Save Money and Avoid Hidden Fees in 2024
    Jul 14 2025
    Hey listeners, welcome back to 1000 Things You Need to Know, the podcast that makes the complicated stuff simple—one topic at a time. I’m glad you’re here, because today we’re talking about something most of us use every day, but few of us actually understand: cell phone plans. That’s right, we’re decoding data limits, sneaky fees, and those head-spinning contract terms.

    Let’s get real—walking into a phone store or scrolling through endless carrier ads can feel like entering a maze with no cheese at the end. Should you go for unlimited everything? Is that “free” phone really free? And what’s up with all those tiny asterisks? Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered.

    First, let’s tackle data limits. Most plans come with either a hard cap, meaning your service stops or you pay extra when you hit your data ceiling, or a soft cap, where they just slow your speeds to a snail’s pace but don’t charge more. For example, Mint Mobile offers a 5GB plan for fifteen bucks a month. If you go over, your data just gets slowed until next month—no surprise charges. But for heavy streamers, plans like Visible Plus Pro on Verizon’s network offer unlimited high-speed data with perks like 5G access and mobile hotspot, but cost a bit more per month. And here’s a fun fact: prepaid plans, where you pay in advance, are great for folks who hate surprises, while postpaid plans might come with perks, but usually require a contract and sometimes a credit check.

    Now, about those fees. That “$30 a month” plan? Look closely—fees and taxes can drive it up. And if you love changing your mind, beware early termination fees. These are what you pay if you leave your contract before it’s over. You can dodge these fees by going with prepaid or month-to-month options, but contract deals often bundle in device discounts. It’s a trade-off.

    Speaking of contracts, a phone contract is a legally binding agreement, usually for 12 to 36 months. It covers your device payments, the services included, and your monthly cost. Here’s the catch: if you sign, you’re agreeing to everything—even the stuff buried in the fine print. That’s why experts and even the Arkansas Attorney General recommend getting a copy of your contract, reading every word, and asking about risk-free trial periods. Sometimes you can test-drive a plan for a couple of weeks, but you might still pay activation or restocking fees.

    So, let’s bring it home. Picking a cell phone plan isn’t just about the price tag or the flashiest perks. It’s about knowing what you actually need—how much data you use, where you need coverage, and how long you’re willing to commit. Don’t be afraid to ask questions and always read before you sign.

  • Master the Art of Efficient Packing: Expert Tips for Wrinkle-Free Travel and Maximizing Suitcase Space

    Master the Art of Efficient Packing: Expert Tips for Wrinkle-Free Travel and Maximizing Suitcase Space
    Jul 13 2025
    Welcome back to 1000 Things You Need to Know, the podcast that helps you tackle life’s little challenges with confidence—one tip at a time. I’m glad you’re joining me today because if you’ve ever found yourself sitting on your suitcase, desperately trying to get the zipper closed, or unpacked at your destination only to find your carefully chosen outfits resemble a pile of creased laundry, then this episode is for you. We’re talking about how to pack efficiently for travel, maximizing every inch of your suitcase while minimizing those dreaded wrinkles.

    Let’s start with the secret weapon of seasoned travelers: packing cubes. I know—they sound like some unnecessary gadget until you try them. But packing cubes just might be the best thing to happen to luggage since wheels. According to travel gear experts, these handy little organizers let you separate your shirts, pants, underwear, and even workout gear so nothing gets lost in the suitcase abyss. You can group items by category or even by outfit, and the best part is, they compress your clothes, making it feel like your suitcase just grew in size. Packing cubes also help keep things neat and wrinkle-free, and if you’re the kind of person who likes to unpack at your destination, just pop the cubes straight into the hotel drawers. Instant organization and no more mixing clean and dirty clothes.

    But packing cubes can only do so much—your technique matters, too. The age-old debate: fold or roll? Here’s the deal. Rolling works wonders for t-shirts, leggings, and casual wear. It saves space and keeps wrinkles at bay. Bulkier items like jeans and sweaters often fit better folded flat or placed at the base of your bag. For dress shirts or delicate fabrics, layer a piece of tissue paper between folds; it really helps prevent wrinkles. And don’t overlook those awkward corners—tuck socks and underwear there, or if you’re packing shoes, use a shower cap to keep soles from sullying your clothes. Yes, a shower cap. You’re welcome.

    When it comes to toiletries, pack your kit the night before so you can grab any last-minute essentials in the morning. And don’t forget, the TSA loves travel-sized bottles—a little planning here saves both space and hassle at security.

    If you’re a chronic overpacker, try setting everything out on a rolling rack or your bed a couple of days ahead. This gives you time to edit your choices. Remember, very few trips require six pairs of shoes. Trust me.

    So next time you pack, remember: plan ahead, use packing cubes, roll and fold smartly, and fill in all those weird suitcase gaps. Your future self—standing at baggage claim with an intact, tidy suitcase—will thank you.
