About the Show

Brain Junk is an off-the-wall, totally unbelievable but true podcast where Amy Barton and Trace Kerr shake up science & history in the hunt for answers to questions you never knew you wanted to know. We bring you the inside scoop on things like: Can goldfish drive? How do whales not drown while eating? Who had the first prosthetic eye?
We cannonball off the question high dive every other Tuesday -- those of you in the front seats, bring your ponchos. We're out to flood your brain.

Meet our Hosts

Trace Kerr

When Trace isn't producing and co-hosting Brain Junk, she lives a life of organized chaos in Spokane with a gardening crazed chemist, several chickens, and two grumpy cats. Her first YA novel, THE NAMES WE TAKE, came out in 2020! She's also on TikTok as @writekerr.

Amy Barton

Amy is the fun half of Brain Junk! She takes great delight in the wacky, interesting, gross minutia of life. At the time of this writing she riding especially high because she successfully added a calendar reminder into One Note that will pop up in Outlook and lead BACK to her One Note. So pretty much she's a wizard and you can trust whatever she tell you.
