This week\u2019s episode of Go Fact Yourself features topics that are really scary and really funny! Dave Anthony is a comedian, but he loves making people think just as much as he loves making them laugh. He hosts the podcast "The Dollop" where he tells people about the U.S. history that they probably didn\u2019t learn in school. That includes some less-discussed details about George Washington\u2019s teeth. Dave\u2019s opponent is Xeni Jardin! She\u2019s the co-editor of one of the premier blogs on the internet: "Boing Boing". As someone who\u2019s worked with websites for years, she\u2019s got a lot of thoughts on what makes the internet such a great platform for conversation\u2026 and why it\u2019s often not-so-great as well. Our guests will take deep dives into trivia, advocate for important causes and even get to meet a personal hero. What\u2019s the Difference: Warship/Worship What\u2019s the difference between a battleship and a destroyer? What\u2019s the difference between a church and a cathedral?
