Downers

EPISODE 74 // With Kate succumbed to illness, Jack and Hao once again try to cobble together enough content to make a cohesive, compelling episode of television I mean podcasts. In this episode we discuss the FIVE WAYS PEOPLE AGE, and it's mostly centered on the different parts of the body. What are all the parts? Well you'll have to tune in to find out. One of them is dirty lips. That one I can reveal right away. I've been authorized to reveal dirty lips right away.

EPISODE 70 // Kate is moving to Hong Kong and it's making her contemplative about the product subscription industry. More generally we talk about all the comforts and trappings of living at home and then having to move abroad. Also we interrogate Jack about his hiking rollouts; and we follow up on Kate's allergies at the very end.

This episode was posted very late because I had to assemble a 100lb computer desk by myself over the course of two days.

Plugs this week:

• Neti Pots / self-waterboarding (Kate)
• Get all the stuff that's yours but your parents have it (Jack)
• MTA's new Atlantic Ticket program (Hao)

EPISODE 69 // This hour, we talk about Dr. Francine Patterson's scientific work with Koko, the gorilla who passed away recently. Fame in science is discussed, snake oil is sold, and words are spelt. We cover the criticism the scientific community has levied against Patterson's work; we talk about the sexual harassment lawsuit filed against her by her coworkers. At one point a halting description of the scientific method is given. All that and more, and Jack's continued reference to that one test-taking scene in 1997's MEN IN BLACK, on Downers!

• Owlboy and Celeste, two indie platformers (Hao)
