ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
Uningrained is a documentary-style podcast about ideas so familiar that they become invisible. They’re so ingrained that we stop noticing them—even when they don’t make sense.
Hosted by award-winning journalist and bestselling author Steve Hendershot, Uningrained pulls those invisible ideas out of the woodwork. It’s a deeply reported, narrative podcast that tells the reliably insane stories of how the world got to be how it is, and then asks whether it’s worth making a change.
