  • Little Gems for the People #4, Busy Beavers
    Jun 3 2024
    Ned and Meg chat beavers. These are some of the most impressive critters around. They are environmental engineers and have an incredible impact on their surroundings, creating habitat for other creatures to flourish. Thanks for listening, wash your hands, don’t be a dick!

  • The One that’s Full of Lies
    May 27 2024
    Ned and Meg talk about intentionally false statements, which is what the OED defines as a lie. We discuss all sorts of lies, and how they fit into some of our favorite television shows like The Circle, and Taskmaster. We dip into discussion of KC Green’s comic adaptation of the classic, Pinocchio. We survey all the forms lies take, and we talk about the enormous problem of researchers who lie to further their careers or because they’re biased as hell in favor of themselves (ahem, doctors). We also rag on prank videos and any other sort of surprise that requires circumventing consent. Thank you for listening to us, wash your hands, and don’t be a dick!

  • A Miasma of Missing Mission Must-Haves
    May 20 2024
    Ned and Meg revisit OceanGate-Gate, the accident-but-not-really-an-accident involving a fraudy, totally unprepared submersible in the Atlantic Ocean almost a year ago. We did a whole episode about it, and the concurrent tragedy of the drowning of nearly a hundred people in a migrant boat that capsized in the Mediterranean at the same time, which almost nobody talked about, because they were too busy talking about OceanGate-Gate. We also discuss pyramid schemes vs MLMs vs Ponzis. Then, we rip apart the book Wild, a memoir by another totally unprepared person who frustrates us. We also throw punches at Sapiens, a fraudy fraud book we never tire of complaining about, and we crack the topic of Brutalist architecture, more on that later. Thanks for listening, wash your hands, don’t be a dick!
