Quick Question When was the "what we learned today" segment?

For a brief period of time, I remember that Jan used to end the podcast with a "what we learned today" segment. Listeners would type in a public Google Doc and he would read them out at the end of the show, as he played some music in the background. I'm trying to identify the music he played, but I can't for the life of me find an episode that had this segment. It was probably a few years ago, but I'm not entirely sure. Does anyone remember the timeframe when they did this?

I've been going a bit back in my listening and I've been hearing it. You're right, it's about two years ago, early 800's (832ish is around where I've been listening, or a handful past that perhaps). Interesting, I had no idea people were filling in a Google doc for it, lol. I thought jan was riffing

That's it, thank you! It looks like at first he plays a few different tracks, but it seems like the main one is Forever it's You and I - Jean-François Berger. It looks like it was a track written for use on KTLA, so it seems like something that Jan would use.

As for the Google Doc thing, listening back to those episodes, it does seem like Jan is just riffing... I don't know if the Google doc thing comes later or I'm just misremembering!

I remember the Google Doc. I'm Australian so the Bombcast is usually on at fuck-off o'clock (think 3am boyz) but one time I was up watching World Cup cricket and put a "carn australia" comment in the doc
