Because of This & That
For the Love of Animals with Guest Adam Cárdenas Sisk
Season 1, Ep. 4
•
Goats and tigers and tent caterpillars, oh my! Guest Adam Cárdenas Sisk and I talk about how our varied experiences with animals have shaped our lives. We journey through our memories, traipsing from a farm to the Shangri-La of pets to a lab to a tiger sanctuary. Shout out to Dawn for being awesome!
Corrections:
- I have no proof the raccoons were rabid. They might have had another disease, but they weren't right.
- Tent caterpillars are very unlikely to kill a tree or do any lasting damage to them. It looks worse than it is.
- Tent caterpillar moths don't have deathheads on their wings. My memory took my terror, waking up with them flapping about my face, and added that detail for ambiance.
- Slow lorises belong to the suborder of Primates called Strepsirrhini, not whatever I said. I'm sure my PI got it right when she dismissed them.

3. Why New York Loves Alexander Hamilton
28:36||Season 1, Ep. 3The bias is pilled high when a New Yorker explains what a New Yorker Hamilton was with the aid of, fellow New Yorker, Lin-Manuel Miranda's musical "Hamilton" and, fellow fellow New Yorker, Colin Quinn's comedy special, "The New York Story." And, of course, I try to sing, so you've been warned.2. Why We Love Dangerous Lost Puppies

Why Stupid People Think They're Wicked Smart
27:52||Season 1, Ep. 1In H. Miller's first-ever podcast, she demonstrates why stupid people think they're smart. Turns out she's experiencing the Dunning and Kruger Effect, the Big Fish Little Pond Effect, and is hoping for a dash of Beginner's Luck, but won't keep her fingers crossed.
