Ep43: All of Us Were Pooped Out by Stars

These are not fluffernutters.

This week we go from fluffernutter to Thomas Edison! We solve the mystery of Elvis’s death, learn about a car practically made out of a firestarter, lick through the soggy history of the ice cream cone, and discover how much of a crush Henry Ford had on Edison.

Ep42: That Sweet Grease Money

This will NOT be you as you listen to this episode! We hope!

This time around Tim has us go from boredom to NPR, two things that are surprisingly not directly linked! Sky talks about Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (the fact that this is episode 42 is totally a coincidence), Kyle unravels the mystery of the subconscious, and we all gush over our favorite NPR hosts and how great Hearts of Space is.

Just...just give this one a listen.
