About This Podcast
"I Got Stuck!: A Catalog of Temporary Obsessions," with me, Dr. Kelly Reidy, is a podcast wherein each week, I’ll give you a full report on the latest topic that’s kept me up at night. Things that have led to countless hours of procrastination through googling, asking Jeeves, and navigating the twistiest and turniest of internet rabbit holes (and by the way, rabbit holes are technically called “warrens” and they can be so elaborate that they have their own traffic circles!).
