December 18, 2020 Episode 17: Ringworm of the Beard
With all the lockdowns, something has changed...
... especially when it comes to people growing beards.
With people less likely to be seen in public, less likely to go outside, and less likely to even get dressed for the day, men in the world have found themselves in a situation where shaving is becoming less of a thing ... for obvious reason.
But with much beard comes much responsibility, and one of those things is taking care of that new bit of manly bushiness. If you don't know what we're talking about, listen in. By the end of this episode, you'll either find yourself washing your beard more, or getting back into shaving.

December 11, 2020 Episode 16: Electoral College Destruction
This country was founded on the constitution...
... as a democratic republic; not a democracy.
Every year people talk about the electoral college, but in election years those conversations skyrocket. In 2016, when Donald Trump won the election but lost the popular vote, the cries to get rid of the electoral college were as loud as they've ever been.
What would happen if those voices got their way?
What if the Electoral College was eliminated?
It turns out, lots of things will happen, and if you love this country, then you're not going to like the results.
Tune in for this week's episode and find out the figurative nuclear option to the United States of America.

December 04, 2020 Episode 15: Cell Phone Pinky
When it comes to cell phones...
... most people don't mess around.
We use them every day, for many people, for hours and hours every day. But what is the cost?
Sure, most of the time spend on your phone could be better used some other way, maybe with your wife and kids? Sure, you could end up with an itch to check your phone every time you think it vibrates, but did you ever think it could actually manipulate your actual anatomy?
Turns out, your cell phone can actually reshape your bones ...
... well, one bone in particular, and you might be surprised what bone that is.
Tune in to find out!

November 27, 2020 Episode 14: Lead Lips
You've heard of a lead foot ...
... but have you ever heard of lead lips?
If you have, then you may want to run away, and keep running; if you haven't, you'll run away after this episode. You see, there's a problem in the United States, and it's a problem that's so big over 120 million women deal with it each and every year.
Why are we singling out the women?
Just to make this clear, it's not all women we're talking about in this episode, but the millions of women we do talk about have something in common:
They wear lipstick.
And in case you were wondering, lipstick has lead in it ...
Listen in for all the details.

November 20, 2020 Episode 13: The Turkey Pandemic
You thought COVID was bad...
... but you haven't seen anything yet.
Imagine a disease that has a 60% death rate. A sickness that wiped out huge percentages of the domesticated fowl populations in South Korea. A malady that was unstoppable. A scourge passed on by seemingly innocuous and innocent travelers passing through.
Now imagine if that thing could transfer itself to humans.
That would be unimaginable, especially with the numbers we've been looking at.
There's just one question ... will anyone survive this turkey plague?

November 13, 2020 Episode 12: Spaghetti in Space
There's not much out there we know less about than outer space.
Yet man has been obsessed with it for centuries.
There's not much about space that is appealing, at least when it comes to helping humans live. Getting outside our atmosphere, if done, will result in instant death for whatever person is out there, if they don't take the proper precautions. But if this episode were about some guy getting into outer space and then realizing too late that he needed a spacesuit, it wouldn't be a reason to panic.
Not really.
That guy just deserves a Darwin Award.
No, the reason to panic this week is a much bigger reason--of Galactic scale. This week, we're talking about a star killer, something with enough power to turn a star bigger than our sun into something that resembles a huge, nuclear-powered piece of spaghetti.
Tune in and find out why you should be extra scared of this extra-terrestrial threat.

November 06, 2020 Episode 11: Man's Best Friend?
It was just a normal onset of the flu for Mr. Manteufel ...
... until he started getting delirious. Then came the bruises, They started off small, and barely noticeable, but it didn't take long for the bruising to spread all over the poor man's body. If he'd been in his right mind, which he wasn't because of an elevated fever, he would have been seriously concerned.
His wife, however, was extremely concerned, and she did what a loving, caring spouse would do in a situation where her significant other looked like he'd been on the wrong side of the baseball bat in a home-run hitting contest.
She took him to the hospital.
And it's a good thing she did. She saved his life ... but she couldn't save all of him. Amputations came, but to hear what limbs the unfortunate lost, you'll need to listen to the episode.
The doctors questioned his wife about her husband's actions and behavior before he got sick, but they couldn't find anything out of the ordinary. He was a relatively healthy man, with no warning signs at all.
In the end, they could only pin it on one thing, and this is probably going to surprise you.
Mr. Manteufel liked dogs.

October 30, 2020 Episode 10: Zombies Among Us
They are idolized in pop culture ...
... from Michael Jackson to Brad Pitt. Everyone loves zombies.
What's not to like? They are creepy, they feed on the gray matter of living humans, their body parts are falling off ... They're also a universally accepted part of Halloween, at least in the United States. It's one thing to dress up like one, to watch one on TV, to joke about your great-uncle Bart at family reunions; but what if zombies existed among us?
Would they still be an accepted symbol for millions or weirdos at a Rob Zombie concert?
We at Reason to Panic don't think so.
In fact, we'd wager a large amount of monopoly money that Zombies would be looked at in a much different light than they are now, and we have some news for you.
Zombies do exist.
And for this special Halloween episode, we're going to tell you where they are and why you need to panic, like right now.
Listen to the episode and find out the truth about Uncle Bart.

October 23, 2020 Episode 9: A Hospital Attack of Horrible Implications
It was supposed to be a regular weeked ...
... and then their computer systems tanked.
Cyberattacks are for real, and they are increasing at nearly 400%, and that's just cyberattacks on our government. The alarming frequency of these attacks, and the impact they have on the public at large are scary.
So scary, we actually got our first 10 on the panic scale.
Imagine, being able to control the fate of hundreds, or even thousands, of lives with the push of a single button. That's what we have going on here.
Just ask Universal Health Services--a hospital chain with 400 locations in the United States how scary that could be.
The only question that remains is this:
Should you panic?
Listen to the episode to find out.

October 16, 2020 Episode 8: Used Condoms--A Lot of Them
Contraception is a part of life for billions of people ...
... but not every method is as good as the next.
Take condoms, for example. When someone purchases condoms, there are lots of assumptions associated with them--things you don't think about.
First, you'll probably assume the condom has no holes. Second, that the condom is clean and safe to use. Third, you'll probably assume that the device has never been used. After all, aren't condoms marketed as a "one-time thing?"
Well, you'll have to change those assumptions after what we discovered.
Someone is selling used condoms ...
... and even more people, and we're going to assume they're doing it unknowingly, are buying them.
Listen to today's podcast for all the disgusting details.
