    10. The Reason Pokemon Cards Sell for $150,000 (But I Can't Find Any)

    With Pokemon cards going for tens of thousands of dollars, and the world in an uproar to "catch 'em all," we need to get to the bottom of this new obsession. And to do that, I'm going to learn about Pokemon, try to win against a very scary nine-year-old, interview the owner of the world's largest Pokemon collection, and get trained by the North American Pokemon champion! This is a wild, obsession-filled ride you won't want to miss!  🌘Get the OBSESSED shadow episodes: https://www.patreon.com/OBSESSED 📸Follow me and the show on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cliffordstumme/ 🐥Follow me and the show on Twitter: https://twitter.com/CliffordStumme 📬Email me: clifford@popsongprofessor.com Thank you to all my guests and contributors!

    9. Bye-bye Social Media? Giving into the Fear of Missing Out

    Tons of people are quitting social media, and the rest of us having been asking, "Why?" Don't we all need to be on social media in the Digital Age? Well, maybe not. In this episode, we ask, "Why the obsession?" And I try cutting social media for myself, and at the end of my experiment, I make a big decision about my own social media.  🌘Get the OBSESSED shadow episodes: https://www.patreon.com/OBSESSED 📸Follow me and the show on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cliffordstumme/ 🐥Follow me and the show on Twitter: https://twitter.com/CliffordStumme 📬Email me: clifford@popsongprofessor.com Thank you to all my guests and contributors!

    8. Dungeons and Dragons and the Fear of Playing Pretend

    In this episode, I come face-to-face with a fear I haven't felt since high school: role-play. After a semi-tragic high school experience, I'm afraid of playing pretend with others, and as a result Dungeons and Dragons may be my hardest challenge yet. But that won't keep me from finding out why 13 million people worldwide are obsessed with this game! 🌘Get the OBSESSED shadow episodes: https://www.patreon.com/OBSESSED 📸Follow me and the show on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cliffordstumme/ 🐥Follow me and the show on Twitter: https://twitter.com/CliffordStumme 📬Email me: clifford@popsongprofessor.com Thank you to all my guests and contributors!

    7. Why Americans (and Everyone Else) Love the Royal Family

    At first, royal family obsession seemed weird to me, but I went on a journey, on which I met a Hollywood reporter, two world record level royal family memorabilia collectors, and two average Americans who love the royal family. Now I understand royal family obsession, and I know the reason for it is anything but simple and anything but boring. 🌘Get the OBSESSED shadow episodes: https://www.patreon.com/OBSESSED 📸Follow me and the show on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cliffordstumme/ 🐥Follow me and the show on Twitter: https://twitter.com/CliffordStumme 📬Email me: clifford@popsongprofessor.com Thank you to all my guests and contributors!

    6. Could Speed Rubik’s Cubing Change Your Life?

    Speed Rubik's cubing? Really? On the surface, there's not much to this hobby but a weird obsession with a fifty-year-old toy, but does it go deeper? Well, yes, surprise. It does.

    4. What Makes Taylor Swift Mega Stans So Fanatical?

    Apparently Taylor Swift is a big thing? When I started this podcast, I didn't think I'd be researching why an individual inspired obsession, but it makes perfect sense because Taylor Swift has tens of thousands of truly obsessed fans.

    3. The Siren's Song of Slow Cooked Pork

    There's a level of obsession that surrounds barbecue that I can't explain. But rather than wonder, I'm diving in head first. We're going to interview people who are obsessed with barbecue, and I'm going to try meat smoking out for myself.
