Episode 155: Crushing It! Dealing with The Devil Apr 03, 2026

Show notes

What happens when a podcast about paranormal skepticism gets crossed with two dude's love of Star Trek The Next Generation? You get Crushing It! Originally a joke about loving Dr. Beverly Crusher, now an obligatory annual tradition. We must be April Fools to be doing this again... This time The Enterprise encounters the Devil, and Captain Picard does his best Cody impression. Or has Cody just been doing a "Picard" this whole time?

Episode 152: A Ghost Divided Feb 20, 2026

Show notes

This time Cody does a bit of recycling, and tells Garth about the ghosts of Abraham Lincoln. But how many hauntings can one ex president have? A score? Four score?! How many is a score anyway? We don't answer that. But we do go for a train ride! Trains are fun. Right?

Episode 151: An Octopuses Garden in The Trees Feb 06, 2026

What's that sound? Can it be the gentle pop of tenticular suckers in the forest? But how could that be? This time we explore the world of The Pacific Northwest Tree Octopus! Along the way we find out how an 85 year old engineering disaster meant to solve a problem caused by the last ice age lead to a key moment in early internet culture, and what that says about our current world today.

Episode 150: Paul Bunyan Jan 23, 2026

Show notes

It is our sesquicentennial episode! And in deference to the state of things in Minnesota, we will be talking about yet another giant of American folklore, Paul Bunyan. Who is he? Where does he come from? What does he want? Some of those questions may be answered! Along the way you might learn more than you ever thought you wanted to know about international trade politics of the 1500's. However by the end you will be left with a new question: How tall do you want your Paul?

The Crepuscular Quadrant: C.O.A.L. Dec 24, 2025

Show notes

Christmas is a time for family, friends, food, and good will towards your fellow persons. That is, unless you live in a world where every day is Christmas... For if you live in The Crepuscular Quadrant it is a time for fear, paranoia, and suspicion. A time where every action you make will help decide if you are Naughty or Nice. Who will get presents? And who gets C.O.A.L.?
