Obscure number facts

I noticed today a link to the Travels in a Mathematical World podcast from the blog of Duncan Margetts, "Dunc’s Shed". It's great to see someone liking and pointing others to the podcast :)

Duncan was sufficiently impressed by the peculiar episode number facts that he was moved to write about palindromic numbers on his blog following episode 11. Someone asked me a while ago why I was doing a fact about the episode number at the start of each episode. I told them it was my inner geek trying to express himself. It's interesting to see one person out there at least likes this, anyway. The big question is: for how many episodes can I keep finding the facts...?
