Here are some random facts for you.

1.  As of 2021, 41% of Americans ages 12 and older have listened to a podcast in the past month.  That’s up from 37% the year before, and just 9% in 2008.  That suggests the number could be around 50% now.  And, 28% of people 12 and older said they’ve listened to one in the past WEEK.

4.  Aviator sunglasses were created by Bausch & Lomb in the 1930s for the U.S. Army Air Corps.
