Curiopoda

Rolling right along, Casey and Andrea tinker around with industrial machinery in this episode of ThunkTink! As relative city kids, they dream up ill-informed updates to farming equipment, try to bring more humanity to mass egg production, and then do a 180 back to the city to give crime syndicates making their own weapons a way to escape detection. 

Time for another ThunkTink session! Breaking away from the large-scale projects, Andrea and Casey turn their attention to designing something smaller: games! Tag along as they create a new video game inspired by Upstairs, Downstairs, an updated version of Hide 'N Seek, and a new sport one wouldn't be surprised seeing Link and/or Zelda playing.

This week's topic on ThunkTink: theology. Come along on a quick jaunt through weaponry and symbols associated with specific gods before getting swept along on a commercial effort requiring mass amounts of holy water. That being said, neither of us were raised in religious households, our ignorance shows, and we mean no offense with any of our ramblings. 

Returning to their regularly scheduled program, Casey and Andrea find themselves thrown into the field of warfare, because after one has already discussed mines, why not? Treading the razor wire thin line between dark humor and just dark, they explore ways to minimize the impact of war--preferably making it obsolete along the way.

The stunning conclusion of our podcast channel branding brainstorming session to which you already know the result! Would you have expected it to involve weaver birds and mythological islands though? Andrea and Casey also discuss whether this is going to be a channel/podcast for kids or just one they try to make accessible to anyone. Much discussion of how brand identity shapes show production and also Disney's Gargoyles and Mighty Ducks cartoons! Because tangents!

ThunkTink is back this week with a special episode where we forgo the format and try to brainstorm the name of our podcast channel! You know the results, but find out the journey to get there! It involves a lot of alliteration, acronyms, horse medications, Ripley's Believe It or Not, and Swedish meatballs! Some mild cursing in the the scrodcast section, so skip that if you are listening with those that would offend! (Sorry for the late upload - it was quite a bit to edit! - Casey)

It’s time for episode 6 of Curiopoda’s ThunkTink! Still getting their podcasting feet wet, Casey and Andrea jump right in to explore underwater diving. Inspired by random words—some on-the-nose, others not so much—and getting submerged in an unexpected research arc, they introduce parades and fireworks to the underwater landscape!

Join Curiopoda in another space-themed episode of ThunkTink! This episode, Casey and Andrea left satellites and recycling behind to focus on Earth’s sister planet, Venus. Tag along with them as random words steer them towards remote sampling, material erosion, and…aliens? Is the second planet from the sun appealing enough to set up shop on a semi-permanent basis?

Another ThunkTink minisode - this time a mashup of Discrete Mathematics and Sexual Ethics (late due to editing, sorry!). In the highlights from these sessions we hear Casey and Andrea brainstorm about optimal tectonic plate formations, inns specifically for bisexuals, and biogeographic barriers to the spread of the practice and cultural acceptance of BDSM! It's a trip!

Episode 3 of ThunkTink (sorry it's a little late) is a minisode of the lost episode that we end up referring to far too much later on to leave out. So here's all the good/juicy bits from caving and speliology! Join Casey and Andrea as they try to invent new safety technologies for a hobby/career they've barely got any idea about.
