Skin

SKIN 

Your epidermis is showing! It's season 2 and Em gives us the skinny on skin, which sounds gross because IS gross. Acne, blackheads, sebum, hair, smelly bacteria - all gross! Also featuring less gross topics like; a certain record breaking town in Iowa, the lady who itched WAY too much (which is arguably still gross) and cute ways to remember the names of nerve endings! If you’ve got an itch for loose skin-related puns, this pore sentence has barely got you covered. Welcome back!

MAY 

Its that time of the monthly month, its the month of May! This month Kait promises 9000% less Roman history, a terse glance at the zodiac and virtually no star wars references. Mostly because of ADHD whims, BUT we can also pretend that its because May = flowers. So dig in to our chat about lily of the valley and hawthorn. It somehow involves Jesus, pilgrims, faeries, and Manitoulin island and contains medium levels of dismissive sass towards Victoria Day, Adam Dollard and the French military abroad in various centuries. Bonus: cartoon theme songs?

THE PIED PIPER OF TUSCON 

Once upon a time there was a poor, little orphan boy who had plenty of money, but felt deeply insecure about himself..so obviously he decided to murder a bunch of women. Em shares the story of Charles Howard 'Smitty' Schmid, Jr., an inexplicably charismatic, sub-standard Elvis impersonator with pedophilic tendencies, who somehow convinced local teens to party with him, young girls to hand their paycheques over to him, and naive accomplices to commit impulsive murders with him. Not a criminal mastermind (or makeup stylist) by any means, but impressive that this stuffed boot walking red flag of a human managed to fool anyone at all.

SELFIES 

The tools and skills needed to create a self-portrait have changed over the years, as technology has allowed humans to proliferate them in extreme magnitude. So like, why are we so obsessed with ourselves? Em talks about the awkward social cues surrounding selfies, the vapid obsession, despite the commentary of shame and disdain about them, and general acceptance of our inherent need for social validation. We’ve got a history of selfies and selfie-devices, famous selfies, a brief nod to the fucking pandora’s box of body distortion that instagram and filters have unleashed upon the world and finally Em’s handpicked top fave deaths-by-selfie! (+ BONUS topical banter on the RPDR finale and John Depp)

APRIL 

Spring has sprung..so that means an earthy, heirloom mix of lady gods, and religiously restrictive-dieting in honour of 1 god’s special dudes. We got horned zodiacs, basic gems, basic flowers, basic pranks and incredibly elaborate eggs. A very brief and reductive history of Passover, Lent/Easter and 2022’s Ramadan, as well as an attempt to untangle the syncretized goddesses of the ancient world. We sprinkled a couple of April-related references throughout..can you find all the easter eggs?

AMNESIA 

WHO? WHAT? WHY? WHERE? Amnesia was (probably) first introduced into your consciousness via soap operas.. but how does it really work? Em nerds out on neuroscience in this sister-episode to MEMORY. We talk about some of the different types, causes and some famous cases. We’ve got constant references to the movie Memento, shitty drawing experiments, a doctor being kind of a prick about handshakes, sad journal entries and more!

MARCH 

Ides that time of the month again. Polish your bloodstones, quit creeping on the daffodills and bust out your fancy dolls for their annual tea party…cuz Kait is MARCHing in with more calendar-based factoids and history bits. We’ll go on a quick tour of Mars in ancient astronomy, just enough to gather that humans have always had a thing for recycling IP and rebooting superhero franchises. We’ll learn who to blame for all the terrible March-related things -  like the Romans for separating the new year from the equinox, the English for insisting taxes and date-keeping stay perennially confusing, Canada for enabling Daylight Savings Time and America for tackifying St. Patricks day. Also, happy Bacchanalia and SPRING BREEEEAK!!!

PEZ - its the candy that everyone loves to never eat. How did this chalky and underwhelming pastille become a ubiquitous and enduring collectible? What does PEZ even mean? What do a witch, JFK and Seinfeld have in common? Em dispenses all the answers to these questions and more! Kait demonstrates the contrarian nature of pez appreciation; nostalgic love simultaneous with a harsh critique of the candy and it’s avid collectors. Join us as we unwrap, carefully piece together and share the story of a baking powder dynasty, a boom in cigarette popularity and a holocaust survivor.

Em explains how our brains organize information and recall the stuff..y’know..err uhh that thing that happened that one time with the stuff. Its our first interactive episode, so check out our instagram for this episode ( https://www.instagram.com/p/CaFhb_7J2VD/?utm_medium=copy_link ) to do a memory experiment along with us. Kait shares childhood memories and proves she has a MIND OF STEEL, that can not be tricked!! (But also, probably, definitely be tricked).

JANUARY + FEBRUARY 

Do you like historical trivia? Kait sure does, and this episode she unloads two whole months worth of calendar-based factoids. It is a bumpy crash course through ancient Rome, Sun Signs, Birthstones, as well as other traditions and observances…to prove that human history is a lot of people making stuff up and/or editing it to fit later.
