Good Job, Brain! is exactly what it says on the tin: four friends who love trivia, having fun with weird facts. It's clean enough for your 11-year-old, interesting enough for you, and wholesome enough for grandma—which is genuinely rare in podcasting.

The format is straightforward: hosts take turns quizzing each other, share bizarre histories, and crack jokes along the way. It's not going to change your life or teach your kid calculus, but it makes learning random stuff feel like hanging out with smart, funny people. If your family already plays trivia games or yells answers at Jeopardy, this is a natural fit.

The main caveat: the show ended in 2020, so you're mining an archive. That's fine for timeless trivia about history and science, but pop culture references will feel increasingly dated. Still, with years of episodes available on all major platforms, there's plenty to work through. It's a solid, safe pick for road trips and dinner prep—just don't expect it to compete with flashier, more produced content if your kids are used to high-energy YouTube.
