If you want to have a tryst with trivia, tune into Fact of the Matter. It’s a podcast that sports media personalities Rathindra Basu and Joy Bhattacharjya launched recently. The premise is such that the duo picks up tidbits of information and dissects their significance. It’s about having fun with facts. “Frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn.” That’s a famous line from Gone With The Wind, the classic movie. Many of us know that sentence. But how many of us know the etymology of the final word, “damn”? Not everyone. This podcast delves into subjects like that.
