185: Starfield Hates Mondays (feat. Tom Lum) [originally posted Sep 15, 2023] On this banger of an ep, we're joined by the multi-talented co-host of the science podcast Let's Learn Everything, Tom Lum (@TomLumPerson)! We have a chat about PSP games, load-bearing Fallout 4 mods, Tom's history with game development, the good parts of TikTok, internet hypervigilance, Adventure Time, and more! Tom is a total joy and has an amazing laugh so this episode is a real treat.

104: Your Dimension is Not My Dimension (feat. Andrea Jones-Rooy) [originally posted Feb 18, 2022] This week, we're joined (once again!) by comedian, circus performer, and data science professor Andrea Jones-Rooy for an all-over-the-map discussion of grad school, dimensionality, Tumblr, standardized testing, the Encanto soundtrack, recommendation letters, and lots more. Andrea is the best and we're thrilled to have them back on the show, and you will be too!

Forrest Valkai) [originally posted Apr 3, 2026] Today we're joined by biologist and science communicator Forrest Valkai (ig: @valkailabs) for a chat about tackling live call-in shows, the temptations of conspiracy thought, algorithmic cognitohazards, internet grifters, and more! A very interesting and passionate conversation on this one, folks. We had a blast.
