  • S7 Ep8: Hollow Earth: I Didn’t Take Earth Science
    Well, well, well… here we are tackling another conspiracy theory. This week on the podcast, we’re digging into Hollow Earth, how Laura Bush prevented us from taking earth science in high school, and which one of us remembers the important parts of eighth grade. Let’s say you’re onboard with Hollow Earth— then what’s inside? Don’t worry, we’ve got many the claim to present you with this week. So, time to grab a shovel and start digging.

  • S7 Ep7: WHAT THE FUPDATE: Unpacking Religious Trauma
    Yeah, that’s right— we’re back to discuss one of Jaimi’s favorite topics, religious trauma. Why are millennials finally unpacking all of our feelings about church from childhood suddenly and does this have anything to do with why this generation is obsessed with cult documentaries?

  • S7 Ep6: PrinciplesYou: There’s Only One Bed on this Island
    This week on the podcast, we’re back to discussing one of our favorite things— the personality assessment. This week we’re breaking down PrinciplesYou, a new assessment that blends the Big Five, MBTI, Ennegram, and more… so yeah! A lot to unpack! We’ll talk about how this one works, what we like about this one in particular, and what makes personality assessments helpful (or not!) in general. And for all you Adam Grant fans— he had a hand in creating this one.

  • S7 Ep5: SPACE CAMP: Jack Parsons and L. Ron Hubbard Origin Story
    That’s right you guys, we’re going there— to the moon and back down to earth to talk about how sex magik helped create NASA (yes, seriously). This week on our final installment of SPACE CAMP, we’ll discuss the entangled origin stories of both Jack Parsons and L. Ron Hubbard. We’ll explore “the before time” of both Scientology and NASA as we dig into some weird diaries and a couple of guys who didn’t really value their wives so much. So, buckle up one last time as we prepare to yell into a headset from the 90s, “MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.”

  • S7 Ep3: SPACE CAMP: Aliens!
    Welcome back to SPACE CAMP, Cadets! This week we’re talking all about little green men… and diving deeper into what we think extraterrestrial life is actually like. Why have we painted aliens as evil villains or our smarter saviors almost exclusively. Seems like the deeper we get into this, the more our questions about aliens align with questions about a higher power… so, you ready to be probed?
