We are talking parenting! A topic that has become more nuanced with the passage of time and the ready availability of  internet advice. Our panel is stocked with parents and kids and parenting coach Katherine Saltzberg from icoachmoms.com. We are talking technique, philosophy, consequences, technology and Fortnite! 

Plus moms & dads inspire Facebook Feedtime and What’s Twitter Trending, serving to remind us that everyone has an opinion on #parenting.

Fear not. We are talking FOMO! Fear Of Missing Out. No angle will go unexplored. From its basis in evolutionary biology to its current social media underpinnings, we are exploring scientific, cultural, psychological, social and economic aspects of our aspirational compulsions and their potential negative consequences.  We’ve also got FOMO cures, the hot new bumper sticker and What's Twitter Trending is #ThisIsYourPilotSpeakingAnd....

Producer Jim Fraenkel joins us for a #NoFilter conversation on Instagram thirst trapping and feature accounts. We are delving into the heavy-hitters like Passenger Shaming and Girl with No Job, and Jim shares his IG #goals, a thoughtful account he’ll call Hot Dudes in Airports! So, we’ve got the how-to on starting and growing feature and fan accounts and the monetization dream. Plus, we are wading into the Covington Catholic chaos with our own Matt Champagne's Facebook post, and Twitter celebrates the #OscarNoms.

2005’s word of the year was “podcast.” Today’s podcast is devoted to Word of the Year. We’ve got LinguaBishes.com's Caitlin O'Connell with us for a comprehensive look at the history and significance of WOTY. In 1995 the word was "world wide web", which we are currently scanning to bring you this year’s picks. We humans collectively form language which in turn informs us. 

Comedian and Monstrosity podcast host David Race joins us to talk Bigfoot, UFO's, ghosts and all things paranormal. Online finds include MUFON, TAPS,  BFRO And SCP Foundation. And we get a surprise phone call from Finding Bigfoot’s Matt Moneymaker. Plus,  if it exists, there is porn of it so yes, Bigfoot erotica is a thing and Congressman Denver Riggleman is a sexy Sasquatch enthusiast. All that plus NYC’s Drama Book Shop is Twitter trending. 

Standup comedy legend Jimmy Brogan adds a TIFO appearance to his impressive list of credits which includes: Letterman, Johnny Carson’s Tonight Show, Happy Days, his own ABC sit-com and nine years as Jay Leno’s top monologue writer. While digging into the things we have found online we located Jimmy’s controversial college student concert reviews for the Notre Dame Observer which incited angry letters to the editor. “Just who the hell does Brogan think he is!?” All that plus the real fake Swedish Jimmy Brogan and #2018WhiteHouseMovies

Awards season is upon us and the trophy goes to…. #FilmTwitter! Matt Neglia from NextBestPicture.com joins us along with Ted Willett from the Trailer Junkies Podcast. We are talking about the online movie buff community, exploring history vs. Hollywood and discussing the Golden Globe nominees. Plus, we’ll play #FilmTwitterRoulette and study a case of stolen identity on Facebook Feedtime.

With guest Matt Champagne we are taking on the sharpest tongues in comedic history including Bill Hicks, Sarah Silverman, Kathy Griffin, Bill Maher, Michelle Wolf and George Carlin. We are bound and determined to determine where the joke ends and the cringe begins. Can you be truly funny while avoiding controversy? I mean even, “Take my wife… please,” could be scorned in the age of #MeToo. Did Henny condone wife napping?!! Plus #LittleKnownFactsAboutMrsKlaus.

We are blending discourse with dictionary, as we take on the word "mansplain" - what is its definition and country of origin? Can we use it in a sentence?! How did this term go mainstream? And what part did the internet play? We are joined by linguist Caitlin O'Connell from LinguaBishes.com and we add jet setting photographer Gregory Schell to the mix because It will take a man to explain why this term sticks in the craw of the manosphere. Plus, Quora is brimming with meaty morsels of mansplanation. We turn to Bustle for our Top One List and What’s Twitter Trending is #BeatlesSongsforMillennials.

We at Things I Found Online Podcast are no strangers to controversy or comedians and so we are tossing them into a tasty salad with Brad Sanders and Lauri Roggenkamp. Are comedians reacting to social change or compelling it? We are talking Hannibal Buress, Bill Cosby, Dave Chappelle, Andy Kaufman, Chelsea Handler and Lenny Bruce. If it's so wrong it's right, we went there.
