The FinnAale

We’re back after a brief hiatus due to unforeseen circumstances involving a movie and an extra-axial hematoma. But we don’t skip a beat! So, what happens when a remote Alaskan town experiences a diphtheria outbreak and the closest cure is in the continental US? The most epic dog sled adventure. That’s what. Also dark, cold, and weather-y, temperatures incompatible with life, numbers lost to time,...

Today we return to the misery of Floyd Collins trapped in Sand Cave. It’s starting to seem like this won’t be our happiest story. But we’ll try to keep the energy up with electric boogie on the East Coast, the mayor of Skeets City, the 127 hours game, and a lot of switching sides.

In the cave equivalent of a gold rush, the 1910s gave way to several urgent scrambles to find all the coolest caves in Kentucky. And the urgent scrambles gave way to a pretty big Cave Emergency. This episode includes noted poor farmers, helico-ters, the difference between stalagmites and stalactites, and our first ever two-parter.

Our first episode back after a long time away. Travel back in time with us to the 1700s to meet Timothy Dexter, the man who shipped coal to Newcastle, and also some errant bee facts. Stay for the inventor of dexterity, mitten puns, cold weather pollinators, and Finn is sick again. 

How do you pronounce Santa Claus? Is he real? The government seems to think so. What happens when a strategic air command phone number gets mixed up with the Santa Claus hotline? Let’s find out. In other news, the sound a scroll makes when going through a tube, the one true gender (reindeer), and whatever little guy is defecating in the back of your nativity set.

Buckle in for another one. We started off strong with a very serious intro conversation about methods of science and then transitioned into the moral dilemma of owning an aging pet. This week we’ll talk about dog vivisection! Not a happy one this time folks. In other news, how many units of measurement do you know? Can you punch an animal as long as there’s a T test involved? Exposing Pavlov’s dog...

Today find out about a plane that stared out with two engines and lost two engines during flight. Our best scientists ran the numbers and it all settles to approximately zero engines during flight. We’ll also hear some more fun stories about aircrafts and their various shenanigans. This episode is full of microphone mistakes, Fire Canada (that’s when everything changed), the “Fly Good” button, and...

This week let’s take a look at a mysterious book written by unknown authors of dubious origins. We’ll talk about pre-chemistry, scientists, including Aale, militarized pigeons, the origin of AirDrop, and a horse named Potoooooooo. We’re always looking for the next big way to hack the system and today we’re bringing you a new segment called The Abstraction of Flavor. 

What happens when you put liquid in a leaky barrel? Let's find out. The Seed Vault, the Oreo Vault, and a third, more Canadian vault, the air speed velocity of unladen molasses, and a sweet smell that will coat the city for decades. Come for the stories, stay for the complaints about a lack of rise and grind mentality in snails, the philosophy of littering, the lobsteration, and everyone's...

The AaleFinn. This one's a bit different folks. We’ve got jumping over tall mountains, Airforce Sneakers, vehicular accidents, many Martin guitars, and one Jamaica Mistaica.

What happens when a commercial plane on its way across the pacific to America gets caught in the crossfires of war? Glowing trees, Finn is sick, telegram DMs, mysterious sounds, and the longest continuous commercial flight.

On this episode learn the history of the United States' beloved emperor, Joshua Norton. Also the answer to all your toothpick-based questions, a PCR test for the sky, more unsolicited singing, and job description: insane emperor.

It's good to be back in the studio after our three-month hiatus. All the recording equipment is different and it's been a minute since we’ve recorded. This week find out why it's important to get peer reviewed. In other news, we have calls to action, a new game called How Many Plums Do I Have in My Pocket, Prime delivery for subatomic particles, and the man who discovered five new elem...

Come for the history of cats and stay for the 8'5 tigers, self-named cats, bench-pressing dogs, controversial opinions on pets, and unsolicited singing.

Tune in this week for an episode about Earth Day! This is by far our most distracted episode but also probably the most full of random information. Witness my mind being broken several times by Aale's fun facts. Tag yourself! Are you a seabird, a seal, a dolphin, or something, here on this episode of the FinnAale!

Hello folks! This week we've got an episode about the man said by some to have achieved a "more adverse impact on the atmosphere than any other single organism in Earth's history." How did he do it? Do we still use his inventions today? And do CFCs stand for Cool Freaking Chemicals? All of this and more in episode 4! (That rhymes so you know it's gotta be good.)

I have been informed that today's episode is on taxes?! I'm going to try my best to make this interesting but something doesn't feel quite right...

Another tiny rocky start this week folks but you won't get to hear it. Today we're going to learn about World War II, and more specifically, an odd man named Jack Churchill who entered his battles with a bagpipe in one hand, a sword in the other hand, and a bow and arrow in the other, other hand. Did the bagpipes give him special powers? Was he related to Winston Churchill? All of this and...

Hello and welcome to our show the FinnAale! Co-hosted by the show's namesake, Finn and Aale.
