May 04, 2026 OHAC 69: Bean Juice On Ice
What the HEIC is this? Another Corner-Case Corner takeover? Come fill your ear holes with mildly-informed accounts of niche technology issues as Mikhail appeals to a different government, Mark rides the post-Raising Canes roller coaster, and Jack fundamentally disagrees with almost every word you just said. In an enormous show of restraint, discussion on the Theory of Property and Value is curtailed and no one acknowledges any number-based humor.

February 11, 2026 OHAC 67: Incredibly Consistent but Confusing
Look at this graph. Every time I do, it makes me gasp. How is it that those sets of points didn’t show? And where the hell did the purple line go?
iOS 26 has bugs, I’m so fed up. I think Apple should really fix it up. Maybe Mikhail should try something else. Open-source OS is a whole world unto itself.
This episode is all about themes, reflecting on the year and lessons gleaned. Mark tries bouldering again. The Strava map was quite intense.
Jack had his Year of the Athlete. Now his podcasting performances will be elite. Life’s better with a sense of direction. Such a good state of mind to be in. Oh, whoa. Oh God I.
Every memory of setting me some healthy goals, helps with the motivation to every day just keep going. Will we make it? Will we make it? We’ll try. Stand by.

December 17, 2025OHAC 66: You Think You Know a Guy
It’s time to look back at the time we’ve spent together! Here’s your OHAC Recapitulation:
5 days spent stubbornly maintaining cherished friendships
67 times successfully scheduling a time that works for 2+ busy 20-somethings
13 takes so hot, they warranted two thumbs up
More corner case corners than a polytetrahedron
What a journey we’ve had so far. Anyway, in this episode, Jack, Mikhail, and Mark deliberate the finer points of how to best accomplish real-time sharing of cursor location in a text document.

You find yourself on a podcast listening platform. The software seems fairly well maintained and the episode you are considering seems pretty interesting. Exits are: Play the episode OR leave.
Sticking around seems like the right choice, and besides, what else have you got to do today? Sit back, open your earholes, and listen as Jack and Mikhail plead with Markbot in an attempt to Escape the Dungeon, or Die!
