While most are good ideas "on paper", they aren't usually compelling enough to support the enormous amount of work involved in airing a show - even a two and a half minute show like GLT's Uncommon Knowledge™. Developing episode ideas, then writing and editing each, lining up sources, and producing the final product is a staggering undertaking. If the proposal flies it's because those suggesting it are willing to shoulder much of the work. In the case of Uncommon Knowledge™, the shoulders are those of Jay Ansher of the Illinois State University Physics Department and Janet Moore with the Challenger Learning Center at the Prairie Aviation Museum in Bloomington.

"Equipping people with the facts and reasoning skills to confront a scientific myth is one Co-host Janet Moore works with Illinois State University President Al Bowman on an upcoming of my goals," said Janet Moore. "There are so many times people will tell you the 'real way' program on subvocal speech. things are, like the egg standing on the end thing.
