Hypotheticast

HIDE!

That's what we do in Fallout Shelter. We hide! But not before we assemble an amazing team of people that have powers like: reading thoughts, becoming invisible, changing the speed of sound, and even blasting the sax solo from Baker Street.

Confused?

Just listen.

Topics include: Aretha Flanklin, Make It a Full Chord, Chompin' On Those Honey Smacks, Pizza Hut is Hearing All Your Thoughts, Please Come In And Give Us Money, and Divination Den Decor.

Hello, you.

We're starting something fun. Oh, yes. Oh yes indeed. A series! This is the first of five episodes on the senses. We're doing SOUND first, because, well, sound is great. It's essential, even, in the work that we do. 

So, this week, we're answering some cool listener-submitted hypothetical questions about sound, talking about some of our sound manipulation fantasies, and exploring what the world might look like with a . . . different sort of weapons arsenal. ***

Do, Dump, Date! This game never stops being good.

And neither does last week's theme, "stores!" So, you know, we're going to do the normal human thing and talk about which places of business we'd like to smooch, or maybe have relationships with. It's possible that this is either the most perfect or most nightmarish form of late-stage capitalism. I'm not sure which. Maybe both.

Topics include: A Night of Passion at ALDI, A Very Full Sexual Experience, Too Much Expensive Movies, Bustin' Makes Me Feel Good, and Not Everything's A Dollar. ***

Products! Goods and services! Experiences! All that stuff, and more, can be found in stores. They're great places. Or terrible ones. Or somewhere in between, probably, if we're being honest. Mike, Emily, and David are here to answer a bunch of amazing hypothetical questions about stores, and touch on all the big stuff. Like, you know, whether or not IKEA would be a good place to hide, whether or not employee attention is desirable, and just how far we'd go to get a deal.  Topics include: My Dad Has No Earthly Desires, Scott Monsma's Hersheys Obsession, Apologies to Multiple Mothers, The Top Floor of the Top Shop, Eating Pizza While Reading Books, Long Capitalist Ghost Trains, Eating and Sleeping in the KnapSnack, and The Punishment. ***

YES. It's Micro time. The time of day where you listen to a small, baby-sized Hypotheticast. We're playing Would I Rather this week, so you're going to learn a bunch of stuff about which animals David would like to be, which animals Mike would like to fight, and which surfaces Emily would like to eat off.

Topics include: Art is Fake, There's Too Much Going On With Raccoons, Sneak a Slice of Lint In There, Treasure Planning, Bark Bark Bark, and Dumpster Diving.

Weather! It's unpredictable. It's shifty. It's wonderful. It's a lot of things, and so are you, dear listener. This week, you sent us all sorts of rad weather-based questions, and we're here to answer them.

Showy thunderstorm or steady drizzle? Cooling down or warming up? Timothee Chalamet or Timothy Allen? Find the answers you crave.

Topics include: The Mysterious NPR Friday Weather Jingle, Buddy Greg, A Silent Noise, Spring Has Two Faces, Good Ol' Polytheism, Punishing that Petty Bullshit, and Santa's Nemesis. 

Come on in. We've prepared the beakers, the petri dishes, the test tubes, the bacteria samples, the science scissors, the biology beans, the chemistry chamomile, all the good stuff. Because you're worth it.

This week, we're doing a Collaboratory where we generate some dreams! Using three categories (dreamer, type of dream, dream detail) we've all fashioned up some entertaining and introspective scenarios for you. The sweetest ones.

Topics include: Porkapines in Post-Apocalyptic Parades, Pegleg1978, Dentists Get One Dream Per Life, Jenna the Dirtybed Salesperson, and Too Cursed It's the Worst.

We all go to sleep. And sometimes, our brains make little movies for us while we recharge. It's super cool, and other times not super cool, like when our brains decide that maybe nightmares are better and you didn't deserve sleep anyway. WHAT A COOL THING, BRAIN.

This week, we're talking about dreams, and by golly we got so many good questions from you folks. We discuss recording dreams, improving our dream memories, whether we'd rather have dreams of musicals or nature documentaries, and so many other psychedelic stuffs.

Topics include: It's Hard to See Through Water, The Greatest Showman, My Dad Loves Flying, My Dad Might Love Acid But It's Hard to Say, Flippin' that Sweet Midsie, Great Bees, and The Emily Twist.

Whoa. Hi. Hey. It's me, The Hypotheticast. And I'm offering a bit of myself to you. It's what I call a "Microtheticast," and it's here, for you, for you to enjoy. Do you like it?

I hope so.

This week, we're playing "Moral Dilemmas," a game in which two of us are assigned sides of different hypothetical debates, and we have to objectively solve them. If you're the sort of person that wishes we'd be a little bit more serious sometimes, this might be the episode for you. 

Topics include: Artificial Wombs, The Pickle Guild, My Android Mom, Building a Ladder to the Moon, Environmental Shaming, and a Truly Actual and Earnest Moral Dilemma.

This week, we're joined by an extra special and extra wonderful guest named Olivia James! She's here to help us learn. Learn about ourselves, about reality, and just how little we know about either of those things. 

The subject of our hypothetical musings THIS time is: philosophy! So, we're using some classic philosophical thought experiments as jumping points for strange suppositions, answering some great listener-submitted questions, and wondering if we even exist. Topics include: Bike Is Horse, The Daydream of a Lucid-Dreaming Demon, Being Filled with Beetles, The Matrix 4: Flight Simulator '98, That Nasty Nasty Hole, R U Three, and Dumpster Brain 2: Escape from New York.
