Mental Floss
What is yelling “Geronimo” all about? Just what is a “Vegemite Sandwich”? There are all sorts of odd things covered here. Sometimes they touch on science, world politics or human relations – but often they’re related to pop culture, the things you hear every day and never really thought about. (Amazon review)
Reason
Reason magazine has the tag-line “free minds and free markets” and lives up to its promise. It’s always interesting, provacative, and even if you don’t agree, you’ll always learn something. Part culture, part public policy, part current events, Reason looks at everything from an unconventional viewpoint. It’s not liberal or conservative … it’s libertarian without being strident or cultish. I’d recommend it to anyone who is bored with the old, recycled left/right points of view. (Amazon review)
