NEW YORK – August 26, 2025 – Kaleidoscope, the New York-based podcasting company redefining science and technology storytelling, and iHeartPodcasts, the No. 1 podcast publisher according to Podtrac, today announced that No Such Thing will join Kaleidoscope’s slate of research-driven audio at the intersection of technology, science, and culture. "No Such Thing" is hosted by journalists Manny Fidel, Noah Friedman and Devan Joseph, as the trio brings thoughtful research and genuine friendship to the exploration of ridiculous questions. The podcast, first launched in November 2024, will now begin its second chapter under Kaleidoscope and iHeartPodcasts’ esteemed content network umbrella. New episodes are released every Wednesday.
"No Such Thing" begins each episode with a simple, but often heated debate. Do siblings influence us more than our parents? Are suburban dogs really happier than city dogs? Should schools ban phones? What starts with gut instinct quickly becomes a deeply researched journey as the trio speaks to experts, runs experiments, and gathers facts to challenge each other’s assumptions and, occasionally, change their minds.

About No Such Thing
No Such Thing is a show where three best friends and journalists settle their dumb arguments — and yours — by actually doing the research. Hosts Manny Fidel, Noah Friedman, and Devan Joseph start each episode with an argument using just their gut feelings. Then they go out into the world, investigate, talk to experts, and conduct some experiments. Finally, the guys bring their findings back to the group to see if they can change minds, enlighten each other, and move past their emotional truths. New episodes come out on Wednesdays.
