Generally speaking, following a blueprint is a great idea.

In this one, Ian and Liv talk about an 8-story building that collapsed in Bangladesh in 2013. However, during the building's construction, several distinct deviations from the original blue prints were made, which not only compromised the building's integrity, but would cost the lives of more than a thousand innocent people.

Also, Liv returns with the maturity of a 9-year-old. Ian hates a popular shopping chain.

Emus and Bloomin' Onions, what more could you want?

In this one, Katie fills in for Liv while she's on vacation for a riveting discussion about a war against emus. In 1932, farmers in western Australia were not only plagued with drought and poverty, but also an untimely and massive emu migration. The solution to this problem was, in a word, unique.

Also, Katie confuses emus and alpacas. Ian tries out a new accent.

Be careful near bulges, everyone.

Season 8 is here! In this one, Ian and Liv talk about the infamous eruption of Mt. St. Helens in 1980. There was lava, lightning, earthquakes, and mudslides (no, not the kind with alcohol). Oh, and there was also a massive bulge.

Also, Ian chooses jail time. Liv is obsessed with Katie.

Season 7 is over, but the discussion is still rolling!

In this one, Ian and Liv are joined by recurring characters Dylan and Libby for a fun-filled discussion about the last ten episodes, followed by a heated gameshow where knowledge of Season 7 is key.

Also, Dylan suggests a unique wine pairing. Libby is afraid of poop. Liv's memory is unimpressive. Ian replaces Pat Sajak.

Just remember, there were no rules in the 80's.

In this one, Ian scrapped notes for his planned episode to cover a topic that was highly requested by *all of you.* The walkway at the Hyatt Regency in Missouri collapsed in 1981, killing more than 100 people, and the following investigation was incredibly shocking in terms of negligence and immaturity.

Also, Ian loves himself more than anyone. Liv plans to rebuild society through classy dinner parties.

Kindling 'R Us did not sponsor this episode.

In this one, Ian and Liv talk about a haunted house from the 1980s that caught fire, causing the death of 8 people at Six Flags. Spoiler alert: the victims were all teenagers, and Ian & Liv hate episodes that involve children.

Also, Ian lost a toenail in a lazy river. Liv enjoys margs by the pool, especially in the summer.

Sometimes, free tequila is a red flag.

In this one, Ian and Liv talk about Fyre Fest, a concert/bash weekend in the Bahamas that would have been super cool-IF it had actually happened. But why didn't it happen? What were the road blocks? Where were the adults? Why was the FBI involved? Find out in Episode 78!

Also, Ian learns about Coachella. Liv turned down Ja Rule on more than one occasion.

You can definitely be harmed by airplane debris.

In this one, one of Ian's favorite people, Libby, fills in for Liv during a discussion about the supersonic jet, the Concorde, and the horrific and deadly Concorde crash that took place just outside of Paris in 2000. They also discuss how Ian is old, inflation, and how they've been lied to by Lindsay Lohan.

Also, Libby has an obsession with the Pope. Ian can't speak French.

Liv and Ian finally had a REAL audience!

Disaster Hour is celebrating 2 YEARS! To celebrate, Ian and Liv recorded an episode in front of a live, in-studio audience! There was real laughter, real applause, no do-overs, fire, party fouls--this episode has it all!

Also, Ian has a lot in common with Tinker Bell. Liv is a self-proclaimed adrenaline junkie.

Just like Ian and Liv, these episodes only get better with age.

In this one, Ian and Liv revisit the Crash at Crush, a train wreck from 1896 that was orchestrated for entertainment. Now, the podcast has come a long way in two years, and being one of Ian's all time favorite disasters, he felt it was time to re-record the episode to give it the justice it deserved.

Also, Liv reminds us that she failed math in high school. Ian can't imagine life without technology.
