We'll talk about fat bears and blockchain on this week's Whadda Ya Wanna Know Wednesday.

Make a plan. Do your research. Make sure your voice is heard this year. We’re talking, of course, about the National Park Service’s Fat Bear Week, which opened up its polls today. We’ll also kick off Whadda Ya Wanna Know Wednesday with a listener question about using blockchain technology for voting. Plus: How much would American GDP grow if we included household labor? We’ll pull in an expert for that one.

Here’s some additional reading for everything we talked about today:

Finally, in case you didn’t hear, we hit our pledge drive’s $150,000 stretch goal in one day! Thank you so much. Can we make it to $200K? There’s still time to give at marketplace.org/givesmart!

None of us is as smart as all of us.

No matter how bananapants your day is, “Make Me Smart” is here to help you through it all— 5 days a week.

It’s never just a one-way conversation. Your questions, reactions, and donations are a vital part of the show. And we’re grateful for every single one.
