Stuff You Should Know, often abbreviated as SYSK, is a free, award-winning podcast and video series published by the HowStuffWorks website and hosted by Josh Clark and Charles W. "Chuck" Bryant, both writers at HowStuffWorks. The podcast is consistently ranked in the Top 10 on iTunes. It is one of the most popular podcasts in the world, being downloaded millions of times each month.
The podcast, released every Tuesday and Thursday, educates listeners on a wide variety of topics, often using popular culture as a reference giving the podcast comedic value. The podcast is available for free on the iTunes Store and is one of the top downloaded podcasts. On January 19, 2013, a full-length SYSK TV show aired on Science Channel and ran for one season.
Stuff You Should Know is hosted by two senior editors at HowStuffWorks.com, Josh Clark and Charles Wayne "Chuck" Bryant. Their producer is Jeri "Jerome" Rowland.
Clark was a host of the show since the beginning, and before Bryant took over the co-hosting duties Clark was joined by several other editors. The chemistry between the two was immediately apparent, and Bryant became a permanent co-host. Bryant started working at HowStuffWorks about a month after Clark. They had desks catty-cornered [sic] across from each other and would often pop up to share their research. They became good friends within a week.
Josh Malcolm Clark was born July 15, 1976. He grew up in Toledo, Ohio where his nickname was Pillsbury Doughboy. He was raised Catholic and attended a Catholic school. He moved to Marietta, Georgia as a teenager. Clark's father's name is Mel, an HVAC technician. He has a sister named Karen, and two brothers-in-law, one of whose name is also Josh.
In 2010 Clark lived with his then-girlfriend Umi (who is six months younger than him) in midtown Atlanta; he proposed on August 13, 2011 and the couple has since married. The two once rented a house in the Highlands neighborhood of Atlanta. He has four pictures of her on his desk.
He is a former smoker, drinks a lot of coffee, and is an amateur mixologist. His hero is Muhammad Yunus. He and SYSK co-host Chuck Bryant once attended a Mötley Crüe concert at the invitation of the "super hot metal chick" who plays guitar in Alice Cooper's band. His favorite books include 1491 & 1493 by Charles C. Mann which he frequently quotes and/or references in the SYSK podcast. Josh is also a fan of The Simpsons, Firefly, Dollywood, and Quentin Tarantino.
