Hi, I’m Mike — I run this channel.
I started Brain Snacks to explore big questions and complex topics, and to try explaining them in plain English. I’m not an expert in any of these subjects — just a curious person trying to make sense of the world.
Instead of diving super deep, we keep things high level and accessible. No jargon. Just a clean overview of how things work, with a bit of history, a touch of technical insight, and a look at the economic, social, and future implications of whatever we’re talking about.
This is my curiosity journey — and you’re welcome to come along.

Buying a home in America has never felt harder. Prices are high, mortgage rates are up, and even renting can feel out of reach. In this episode of Brain Snacks, we break down why housing is so expensive — from zoning laws and the disappearance of starter homes to interest rates, rising insurance premiums, and property taxes. We also explore the policies and ideas that could help fix it. Whether you rent, own, or just want to understand what’s going on — this one’s for you.
