Spooktacular, Boat Ramp Shame, and Worst Girl in America: Lukian on Fish, Stats, and Rocket-Skate Death Plans Aaron and first-time guest Lukian Adams record a nighttime “Spooktacular,” riffing on seances, not believing in ghosts, and divorce-as-gender-affirming boating. They recap losing a prior episode due to permanent reverb, then spiral through speedboats, proposing, and how they want to die (d...

Supplemental Figures | Ep. 2: Ella Farley Ella Farley is a riddle wrapped in a mystery wrapped in a very bright pink tracksuit. Whether she’s sprinting toward a goal or just sprinting while looking at her phone, Ella brings a chaotic, high-speed energy to everything she touches. Join as we dissect the creative process of a woman who is proof that you don't need "athletic ability" to...

Supplemental Figures | Ep. 6: Liz In a loose, comedic studio chat, the host welcomes British guest Liz Maxwell and riffs on names (Liz vs “Lizard”), niche Bible baby names, and a “Standard Deviation” would-you-rather (blind vs colorblind) that spirals into a mistaken Helen Keller/Anne Frank bit and discussion of misattributed quotes. They joke about cocaine pollution affecting fish behavior, guns...

Supplemental Figures | Ep. 5: Leah Leah is a real human person who exists and does research in the same department as everyone in the world, and yet, she has no last name.

We talk about PhDs, Dreams, lack of dreams, the criplling fear of dying alone, 9/11, Jo...

Supplemental Figures | Ep. 3: Trish Koh Trish Koh has been nothing but kind to me, and all I do is harass her within an inch of her life. She has the smile of a sunny day, the heart of a river, and a head of hair that makes you say: "woah".

Supplemental Figures | Ep. 1: Ren Coakly What can be said about Ren that has not be said a million times.

Kraft Paper Stickers : Buy a sticker to fund the Myki fare for my next guest. "I LOVE W...
