Episode 010: Stephanie Miller & Jonathan Mangum

== Description ==
This week, radio host Stephanie Miller and Let’s Make a Deal’s Jonathan Mangum compete to determine who’s the facting champion of Go Fact Yourself! But before they show off their trivia prowess, they talk a little about who they are. Stephanie explains how she decided to channel her frustration with politics into a comedy tour and Jonathan discusses why he wants to continue producing Let’s Make a Deal forever, and the story behind why the show’s audience members and contestants wear crazy costumes.

=== What's the Difference? ===
==== Stephanie Miller ====
Subject: Fact
Question: What is the original difference between fact and factoid?
Stephanie's Response: A factoid is potentially a small fact that has some basis and truth, while a fact is an actual fact; something that is not on Fox News.
Jonathan's Response: A fact is something that is a fact, while a factoid is a fact in a collective group of facts. 
Answer: A fact is, of course, a true piece of information. A factoid has come to be used as a brief, interesting fact or tidbit of information, but actually the proper definition is not that. Factoid was actually coined by Norman Mailer in 1973 to mean "resembling a fact."

==== Jonathan Mangum ====
Subject: Books (fiction or non-fiction)
Question: When starting a book, what is the difference between a preface and a foreword?
Jonathan's Response: A preface might give you some inclination or some context to what the story is about, while a foreword is something that another author might write, not just referencing the story, but maybe about the author him or herself and how it might relate to the story.
Stephanie's Response: I believe a preface is a prelude, like a foreshadowing of what's going to be in the book; a foreword is someone very slutty.
Answer: Both come before the main text of the book, but a preface is written by the author, usually explaining why the book was written and why you should read the book. A foreword is written by someone other than the author, usually an expert in the subject of the book, a prominent writer, or frankly anyone the publisher thinks could help sell the book.
