When Standing is a Sport: Living with POTS

Episode 22: What if simply standing up felt like sprinting a mile? In this episode of our POTScast...(get it?), we have our first guest presenter! Erin invited her sister, Dr. Katie who is an expert in POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) to unpack a condition that turns everyday movements into full-body events. We explore what POTS actually is, how it affects the nervous system, why it’s often misunderstood or misdiagnosed, and what daily life looks like for people living in dysregulated bodies that don’t follow the rules. This isn’t a medical lecture. It’s a human story about invisible illness, resilience without romanticizing suffering, and what it means to live in a body that operates on a different operating system. We talk symptoms, neuroscience, stigma, coping tools, impacts, and the quiet strength of navigating a world that expects you to function like nothing’s wrong. Because sometimes survival looks like sitting down.And sometimes bravery looks like standing up anyway. **FOLLOW US! We will release a historical video of the two of us that will either be cute or really cringe or maybe both, but only WHEN we reach 500 followers on one platform.

Pop Punk’s Loud, Messy, Beautiful Era (2000s - 2010s ish)

Episode 20 - Pop punk didn’t just soundtrack the 2000s, it rewired an entire generation. From Warped Tour parking lots to MySpace top eights, this era turned power chords, emotional chaos, and eyeliner into a cultural movement. Some of us may still be missing that era and continuing to try and bring out the 15 year old "goth" or "emo" side of them... (*spoiler - both Danny and Erin still are.) In this episode of Hyperfixation Time, we dive into how pop punk exploded from scrappy punk roots into a chart-topping, Hot Topic dominating force. We’re talking Death Cab for Cutie, Blink 182, My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, Paramore, Panic! at the Disco, All Time Low, and all the beautifully dramatic feelings they made socially acceptable to scream in public. We unpack why these songs hit so hard, how the scene became an identity instead of just a genre, and what led to its slow fade from the mainstream in the 2010s. If you ever posted cryptic song lyrics as a Facebook status, owned at least one studded belt, or still get chills when the guitar kicks in on your favorite emo anthem, this one’s for you. Plug in. Cry a little. Hyperfixate responsibly. **FOLLOW US!

Krampus: Christmas’ Dark Side

Episode 17 - Sorry all! Our video didn't work for this episode buttttttttt..... Not all holiday traditions are warm and fuzzy. Of course we had to do a spooky-yet-festive topic. In this episode, Danny teaches us about stepping into the dark folklore of Krampus, the horned figure who punishes instead of rewards. Rooted in Alpine legend and winter fear, Krampus blurs the line between moral lesson and monster. We explore where he came from, his relation to St. Nick ;) and what he is all about, generally. **Also we will release a historical video of the two of us that will either be cute or really cringe or maybe both, if we reach 500 followers on one platform.

Binturong: The Popcorn-Smelling Bearcat

Episode 16 - This week on Hyperfixation Time, we’re climbing into the treetops to meet the binturong, also known as the bearcat (and no, it’s neither). From its prehensile tail and slow, arboreal lifestyle to the baffling reason it smells like buttered popcorn, we break down what makes this elusive mammal so strange and fascinating. We also explore the folklore and cultural superstitions surrounding the binturong, tracing how it’s been misunderstood, mythologized, and quietly iconic across Southeast Asia. Oh and also, we're switching things up with this episode a little, because we are IN PERSON! Erin leads this one, accompanied by her cat Sable, and Danny learns along the way while getting some snuggles from Sable (check us out on Youtube to see a cute kitty!). Get your popcorn ready and learn more about the Binturong! **DISCLAIMER** Please note: Erin and Danny are not experts, just two curious people who love diving into topics they find fascinating.
