479: The More You Know

In this episode of The More You Know, we imagine what it would be like if we were casting directors with a time machine as we discuss which movies and shows we’d recast if we could. Plus we recap the most recent episode of The Great British Baking Show and hold an impromptu snake draft of our favorite pastries.
