An Acquired Taste Podcast

S4 Ep308: Savage Butterflies & Exploding Head Syndrome


Listen Later

Did you know that some butterflies are straight-up a**holes? Yup! They’re not just fluttery angel bugs, some of them are total backstabbers! Kathleen just got a subscription to a science website so she’s about to melt your face with some blazing Butterfly Facts! Then, Bethany discusses the creepy sleep disorder that you may have experienced without even realizing it! Plus, Bethany quizzes Kathleen on which Kathleen knows more about: “You’ve Got Mail” or her podcast life partner, Bethany! (And never forget: the proboscis does what the proboscis wants to do.)
