I'm hanging out every week for the next episode! Great story, can't believe people are not discussing it!

I hope it’s ok to label this cool even though it’s me. This is me in the video (same handle on IG). I wanted to send a big thank you to the Cool People team for all the hard work they do. I’m an avid listener and am inspired by all the cool people doing cool things. Magpie and Sophie, thank you for showing people hope and solidarity. Keep up the fight!

Does anyone know if Margaret will be releasing more episodes about the Dino Wars of 2054 / 2055? Definitely some of my favorite episodes. Thanks in advance!

The opening submission in this solo contest is unreal and I'd like to think it's our favorite podcaster

Margaret recently talked about Judith Malina who, in addition to playing Grandmama Addams, was extremely cool. Did you know that Al Lewis, the actor who played Grandpa Munster, was equally as cool? Lewis was an actor, Talmudic scholar, and anarchist.

Hi cool people!

I’m starting to write a play and can’t find the cool people eps focused on Claude and Marcel Moore. Can anyone help me out with those ep numbers?

Is there an issue, or is it just me? I only got part one, and part two hasn't posted yet, when it was supposed to yesterday. I can't find it on iheart or spotify.

I'm not complaining if there's a reason it's not posted yet, but just trying to find out if the problem is on my end

In one of the pods, Margaret says that Alexander Berkman wrote a medical school to low-key discredit Ben Reitman, the hobo doctor. Can anyone find the original source of this info?

Just listened to these episodes and was blown away. Searched their name on google and they’re touring this fall!

I’m really hoping to see them when they come to my state

This just sort of leaped out at me. The Monstertalk podcast just dropped an episode called Are Magpies Monsters? That made me immediately think of Margaret of course. It is about Australian Magpies, which as it turns out are not corvids. So it is not about Best Virginia Magpies. But close enough. I just got done listening to it, and it is pretty good. They have a bird expert on as a guest, named Gráinne Cleary, whom I also assume is a pirate.

Monstertalk is the science show about monsters. They use monsters and the paranormal as a springboard to talk about science and critical thinking. I suspect a lot of Cool People fans would enjoy their content. I highly recommend their two parter on the Shaver Mysteries, which goes in deep about not just the Hollow Earth, but the early days of the Science Fiction and Fantasy genres.

My mother’s obstetrician wrote her a prescription for a hot water bottle when she was pregnant with me in 1972 because if it was Rx, Medicaid would pay for it.

So I’m not 100% sure, but I would suspect that was the reason for prescribing food. States fund parts of Medicaid so that would also explain why the governor would be mad about black people getting free food.

I doubt it’s still a thing but I’ve never been on Medicaid so I don’t know.

My very favorite moment in a long time was listening to Margaret reading me Winnie the Pooh on Cool Zone Book Club.

Driving home on 26 in Oregon, surrounded by the prettiest of trees, I felt very held and safe in these impossible times.

Being read to… being read a beloved children’s story… it was so needed.

I'm sure there's at least one Last Podcast on the Left fan lurking here.

They both say "wooow" in the exact same way, and it's wholesome and wonderful.

God I love this pod.

Mine is Benjamin Lay, the disabled little person who helped make the Quakers into some of the coolest people who did cool stuff

A lot of people fighting against ICE might not know that yesterday was Willem Van Spronsen day. He attacked an immigration detention facility. I highly recommend reading his manifesto. He knew what was coming.

The NPR story about him wasn't terrible.

There we are, now everything is ok in the world /s

New to CP pod, and noticed Emma Goldman is included in the birth control advocates episode but couldn’t find one specifically about her and her life. Does it exist? Can it exist?!?!
