    E6: Monkey Selfie Copyright Qualms and Big Milk Propaganda

    Let's pretend like this almost 4 month long break was intentional, shall we? This episode, Alicia talks about several legal cases involving animals, including one involving copyright disputes over a selfie taken by a monkey. Then we get into a discussion about animal rights activism and whether it's ethical to own pets. Tyler follows up on cheese caves, mentioned in Episode 4! A surplus in dairy products led to the U.S. government owning a bunch of cheese and a nationwide promotion of milk.

    E5: Groundhog Day Ridiculousness and How Do You Scratch an Itch in an Iron Lung?

    Alicia talks about the origins of Groundhog Day, going all the way back to Imbolc, then Candlemas, then finally to Pennsylvania Dutch culture. We also have a lot of fun talking about the lore surrounding Punxsutawney Phil, the most famous weather-predicting groundhog. Tyler explains iron lungs and answers some questions that have kept him up at night, like how do people scratch an itch or prevent bed sores when in an iron lung? We also talk about Paul Alexandar, a man who achieved amazing things while in an iron lung.

    Apologies for our impromptu month-long break! In episode 3, Alicia talks about the Third Man Syndrome, a phenomenon where people feel/see a helpful presence in life-threatening scenarios. Tyler talks about cicadas, primarily the periodical ones that emerge every 13 or 17 years and ruin everyone's lives for a couple weeks - it turns out they are quite mysterious.
