Thank you everyone who encouraged us. We're looking forward to next week's ONE HUNDREDTH episode!
This week's episode is filled with some characters and surprising shenanigans! Jane shares the often over-simplified story of the Lindbergh baby kidnapping and Sarah explains the revenge of the forty-seven rōnin. Content warning for discussion of suicide and violence against children.
March hit me baby, one more time. This week, Jane gives an update on Britney Spears's conservatorship and we discuss the cancellation of Dr. Seuss.

This week, Jane explains the surprising origins of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Sarah explains why the guillotine was created, and the ultimate impact of capital punishment. CW: Violence, death, suicide, brutality. For more information on the case against the death penalty, please visit the ACLU's or Amnesty International's website.
This episode is not about a conspiracy theory that Serena and Venus Williams are mermaids, but if that is a conspiracy, please let us know! This week, Jane explains how Serena and Venus became two of the best athletes in the world. Sarah shares some lore about mermaids and how their legend all began.
Maybe the people who built the pyramids were switched at birth with aliens... but who's to say? This week, Jane shares some true, exciting, heartbreaking, and aggravating switched at birth tales. Sarah explains how the pyramids were built, and of course there's some conspiracy thrown in there.
Punxsutawney Phil says six more weeks of winter, so it's time to get cozy and listen to another episode of You Know What I've Been Wondering? This week, Jane explains some of the science behind the show and film Snowpiercer. Sarah explains the TikTok trend shifting.
Where are we Wednesday? Still inside! While Jane learned about something useful this week (the life and legacy of Malcom X), Sarah descended into TikTok conspiracy chaos. Do you believe Harry Styles and Olivia Wilde are really together? On a more serious note, we hope everyone took some time last week on MLK Day and beyond to consider the role of Black activists in our past and present. May the legacy of Malcolm X empower you to future action!
Let's talk about things that MIGHT NOT BE REAL! Sarah is only a little bitter as Jane discusses the theory of the Earth's layers. Sarah shares some Norse myths.
