Manage episode 517955019 series 2922787
This week we're replaying episodes that are anything but phoned in. For this episode from July 2021, researchers found that for some Maasai herders in Tanzania, wrong number calls are an opportunity to get to know someone new. Plus: in 1294, a hermit monk chastised the cardinals of the Catholic Church for going years without choosing a new pope. So they promptly elected the monk.
