Vanessa Armstrong — a journalist with bylines at places like The New York Times, Smithsonian magazine, The Atlantic, and many other outlets — created Tube Talk Media for people who love a little bit of weird in their life, whether that's digging into surprising histories (mail in NYC used to travel in underground tubes!); dissecting some of television's more offbeat fare (is a hive mind bad, really?); or delving into books that make your brain twist in unexpected directions.

The website covers this in different ways: sometimes through deeply reported stories, sometimes through Q&As with experts more interesting than Vanessa, and sometimes via roundups of stories we found fascinating and think you will find interesting, too.
