Welcome to Not for Educational Purposes, a How Did We Get Here Productions production. Join hosts Nova (they/them) and Kai (she/her) as they take subjects they often know nothing about and attempt to learn more about about them using the internet while they careen off-topic and see how far away from the original subject they can get. There will occasionally be some triggering topics, such as sex, drugs, death, blood, and other unsavoury things, so if any of those things make you squeamish, or if you're under the age of 18, please listen at your own discretion.

    Not For Educational Purposes: Just Be a Good Person for Funsies (Episode 39)

    Not For Educational Purposes: Just Be a Good Person for Funsies (Episode 39)

    Welcome to Not For Educational Purposes, a How Did We Get Here Productions production, a podcast where two friends look stuff up on the internet and may or may not learn things. On this episode, we have a trajectory but no itinerary, just like always. We learn about tattoos, and how they may or may not flavor you. Could tattoos and peg legs have something to do with each other? And what's better for your body, charcoal or microplastics? We devolve really quickly as Nova gets on the religious trauma train and we all remind everyone to do a good thing just for funsies. And remember kids, we are only a peer-reviewed podcast in the way that we have peers that review us.

    Not For Educational Purposes: Some Animals Just Have Poop On Them (Episode 38)

    Welcome to Not For Educational Purposes, a How Did We Get Here Productions production, a podcast where two friends look stuff up on the internet and may or may not learn things. On this episode, we ask the hard questions, like: Why does Nerd go by Kai sometimes? How do you diary? What is in Nerd's old diaries? We also learn about cat fur, what it has to do with their personalities, and why Ford (Nova's cat) is so dingy. Also: eyeballs are weird, hyenas are really cute, and wolves are bigger than you think. And to top it all off, we learn that sometimes... animals just have poop on them.

    Welcome to Not For Educational Purposes, a How Did We Get Here Productions production, a podcast where two friends look stuff up on the internet and may or may not learn things. On this episode, we start as tame as we possibly can and talk about why bees sometimes sleep in flowers! What is a pollinator and could it be us? We also talk about the earth's largest living organism and is it taking over the world? How does Spanish Moss get into trees? Why are there bugs in them? Why did those bugs make little Nova have to take a bleach bath? All these questions and more on this episode!

    Welcome to Not For Educational Purposes, a How Did We Get Here Productions production, a podcast where two friends look stuff up on the internet and may or may not learn things. On this episode we get into some incredibly odd topics, such as: What happens when you don't get enough vitamin C? Blood swords? What happened to Greg and was it the Petrel's fault? What the hell is a gizzard stone? We also talk a lot about Happy Feet and Surf's Up, and how we should bring back animated bloopers.

    Not For Educational Purposes: Heathen Sims Committing Sins (Episode 35)

    Welcome to Not For Educational Purposes, a How Did We Get Here Productions production, a podcast where two friends look stuff up on the internet and may or may not learn things. On this episode we got a question from one of our fablulous listeners! We talk about the origin of the word witch, what's a heathen and why we are proud to be one, and that Jesus is probably just a stage name. Also, did you know that 100% of people who drink dihydrogen monoxide die?

    Not For Educational Purposes: A Less-Exploding Whale of a Time (Episode 34)

    Welcome to Not For Educational Purposes, a How Did We Get Here Productions production, a podcast where two friends look stuff up on the internet and may or may not learn things. We've got a wet one for you guys! On this episode, Nova faces their fears as we dive below the waves to learn all about sea creatures! We're talkin' sea horse babies, how to do surgery on fish, and why are sharks so flippin' awkward? We also swing way into left field as we wonder what the Easter Bunny is: cryptid or fursona?
