This week we’re taking a look at why some scientists study urban legends. Tune in to hear whether alligators could actually lurk in our city sewer systems and how likely it is for candy mixed with soda to explode. And importantly, what happens when urban legends get produced by poorly conducted scientific research? Music by Adam Schoenbachler @Sch00bie on twitter

Can we really bring back extinct animals? This week join Natalie and Nicole as they discuss dinosaur feathers, the evolutionary link between dinosaurs and birds, and how scientists may use genetic engineering to bring species back...from the dead. Music by Adam Schoenbachler @Sch00bie on twitter

This week we’re discussing the Uncanny Valley to figure out whether humans have the innate ability to detect imposters among us. We’ll delve into why CGI effects sometimes make us feel uncomfortable, but first we need to decide where robot vacuums sit on the cute to creepy scale.

What’s your New Year's Resolution? This week we’re discussing metabolism and how diets work. Join us in our exploration of New Year’s resolutions, fad diets, and how you convert nutrients to energy. Music by Adam Schoenbachler @Sch00bie on twitter

CW: very brief mention of rape *more info below* Can you identify a criminal just by pictures of their brain? In this week’s episode, we’re spanning multiple media forms to explore the scientific basis of criminal profiling and its pervasiveness in pop culture. Join us, the musical theater nerds, and the tik tok teens to learn important information like whether psychics or undergrad science students make better profilers. *scientific study mentions review of a rape case, no further details, occurs at 11:26-11:35 min Music by Adam Schoenbachler @Sch00bie on twitter

Halloween may be over but it lives on in our hearts. Don’t miss out this week as our hosts talk about gross scary movies, proper experimental techniques, and teleportation!

During the spiritualist movement of the 19th century, many fraudulent mediums were investigated by scientists. How did scientists identify fraudulent mediums and how scared was Natalie while watching Paranormal Activity?

Greenhouses may look simple but their ability to keep plants warm even in the cold winter months is ✨astronomical✨. Okay, maybe not astronomical but it is atmospheric! This week we’re talking about the greenhouse effect, climate change, two robots in love, and giant space mirrors. Find out how climate scientists collect their data and how new geoengineering technologies might help fight climate change! Music by Adam Schoenbachler @Sch00bie on twitter
