 <\/p>\n

Mildly amusing and quite clever\u2014a good synopsis of the sometimes-funny-but-always-intriguing <\/span>My Year in Mensa<\/span><\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is another example of a show that falls under comedy simply because the host is a comedian. I\u2019m not sure which category it actually belongs in, but it is far from what I would call a \u201cknee-slapper.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

It is humorous enough to earn at least three mics. It earns another mic for being very unique.<\/span><\/p>\n

The podcast is a four-episode series narrated by comedian Jamie Loftus who walks you through her year in the high-IQ Mensa society, from taking the test as a joke to spending the Fourth of July with 2,000 angry Mensans in Phoenix.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While I don\u2019t agree with all of her findings, opinions, and conclusions drawn from her adventure, Jamie does make some very insightful observations:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. That it seems incongruent for a bunch of geniuses to convene in Phoenix in July, a ridiculously hot time of year in the desert. (I know. I lived near Death Valley for a year.)<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. That people who are pretty cordial in person can sometimes be really mean on social media.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. That standardized tests are close to worthless\u2014something I also came to believe decades ago in high school.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Bottom line: <\/span>My Year in Mensa<\/span><\/i> is perfect for a four-hour drive, which is exactly how I enjoyed the entire podcast.<\/span><\/p>\n
