On this episode of Shift Happened, Houston and Leslie fall headfirst into the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald on its 50th anniversary, from TikTok tributes to why Gordon Lightfoot wrote a six minute sea shanty with no chorus. They dig into eerie details from Lake Superior, human remains on the lake floor, and why the ship is now a protected gravesite. Then the vibe swerves into the uncanny as they check out an ultra lifelike Chinese robot with very deliberate curves and talk about what our tech choices say about us. There is a new seventh sense in the mix too, involving sand, hidden cubes, and how our hands might detect things before we touch them. Along the way Leslie reviews the spectacular chaos that is Kim Kardashian’s new legal drama, and Houston sneaks in a pitch for Mountain West Beer Fest plus a preview of their Veterans Day storytelling special.
