Are We Recording?
A show about what is happening around us, or things we find fascinating at the moment. We may discuss politics, or possibly a quack doctor who implanted goat testicles in people, promising a cure for everything. Topics can be current, or historical, and often one thing leads to another.

That one about the Capital Invasion
There was this time when a bunch of angry white men invaded the capital, while dressed in costumes. This episode covers that crazy event, and meanders a bit around the insane politics of these times. Somehow, we forgot about this episode. Apparently we were so distracted by the events of that day, and the insanity […]
The one about living a hundred years in the future or the past, the sunk cost fallacy, ill-advised total commitment to a public figure, and goat testicles.

The one about Formula One, Niche Sports, Exploding Whales, and Tracy Chapman.
We had an idea for a new podcast. Actually, it was two ideas. Mark had one idea, and I had another. We thought we were on the same page, but we weren’t. We initially thought we’d call the show the Rabbit Hole, and in this episode we definitely go down it. The discussion starts with […]
