Yeah, we get questions as small as a listener said, hey, my favorite bakery shut down and now I can no longer get the cake that I love.
So we got Claire Saffitz, baker extraordinaire, to help us figure out the recipe.
And we also get questions like, should I have children?
Which, as you might imagine, is a more difficult question to answer.
Yeah, I do my best.
But the question that made us think of you guys was from a listener named Jed Kronfeld, because he wanted to talk about his local subway stop.
Jed's lived in Brooklyn for the last five years, and the question on his mind had to do with the Atlantic Avenue Barclays Center Station.
And to understand Jed's question, you first have to understand what this complex looks like.
The Atlantic Avenue Barclays Center Station is consistently ranked as the number one busiest station in Brooklyn.
And the reason it's so busy is because this one hub connects downtown Brooklyn to the rest of New York City.
It's home to a massive arena.
The Brooklyn Nets play there.
It's a huge concert venue where you can see artists like Bad Bunny, Bruce Springsteen, Charlie XCX.
So the subway station itself is super bustling.
It's got multiple levels.
And then on top of that, you have a shopping mall.
And it's in this Escher-like maze that Jed first noticed something strange.
If you were to walk a circuit between all of them, how far away are they from one another?
Wow.
When did you notice that there were three Wetzel's Pretzels locations?
