Wikisurfer

We are busy writing the new season of Wikisurfer right now. While there are some creative changes ahead, we promise Wikisurfer will continue to be your source of the most wonderful, weirdest, and interesting stories Wikipedia has to offer. If you haven’t already, be sure to check out series one and hear what all the fuss is about.

In which Kyle and Brandon look back at the first series of Wikisurfer, take stock of what worked and what didn't, and reveal the results of the listener feedback poll.

We want to say thank you to everyone who listened to the first series of Wikisurfer. We are already hard at work writing episodes for series two, but before we record anything, we first wanted to hear from you. We just posted a survey on our website (www.wikisurferpodcast.com). Please take just a few minutes to share some of your thoughts about the show with us. We are always striving to improve, and we really value your feedback!

The peculiar and petrifying world of eusocial insects—the Borg of the creepy-crawly world—as well as an introduction to one of the fascinating experts who study them; a hair-raising and jaw-dropping look at the many, many times people have tried (and thankfully failed) to kill the occupants of the Oval Office.

An invasion of Alaska, a river's life history, the storied existence of writer Dashiel Hammett, the deadliest plague in human history, a nightmarish trek down the Amazon River, and the Amazon as a center of civilization.

The birth of countries, the MOVE Bombing, Sylvanus Morley, the history of profanity, William Adams, the first European samurai, and profanity in science fiction. NSFW!

The evolution of Santa Claus

Elmer McCurdy; the birth, evolution, and inventors of recorded sound; intentional and accidental mummies; the inhospitable, yet alluring, Atacama Desert.
