    The Great American Spelling Bee with Gabe Henry

    Can you use the word in a sentence? For this episode, Spelling Correspondent Gabe Henry takes Sarah through the surprisingly rampageous (r-a-m-p-a-g-e-o-u-s) history of the Spelling Bee, a uniquely American phenomenon. From the earliest examples of late night “spelling matches,” to the rough-and-tumble contests of the early frontier, to the controversy of the first National spelling bee, it turns out that these mild-mannered academic flexes were once both raucous and revolutionary. Gabe also brings his own spelling bee to test the gifted child that still buzzes within Sarah Marshall. Digressions include Ben Franklin’s morning routine, why we need more statues of kids, and the Wolf Blitzer Hologram.

    Crop Circles with Chelsey Weber-Smith

    What do men really get up to at the pub? For this April Fools' Day episode, Sarah tells urban legend correspondent Chelsey Weber-Smith of American Hysteria the history and the mystery behind crop circles, those sophisticated patterns left imprinted in corn and wheat fields said to be made by alien beings. For years, no one could find a rational reason for their mysterious existence as they spread across various countries; that is, until a pair of surprising culprits finally came forward to reveal their master prank. Digressions include Ramona Quimby’s dad’s alma mater, sexy adaptations of costume drama novels, and the unrivaled power of shaky cam footage.

    The Orca Report with Brianna Bowman

    Do orcas really hate millionaires? And if so, why don’t they vote? Deep sea correspondent Brianna Bowman is here with the answers to these and other burning (bubbling?) questions, plus a submarine trip down memory lane. While reflecting on their expansive Keiko series, they also discuss killer whale true crime, Deadliest Catch, and that Wuthering Heights movie (which sadly contains no marine mammals).

    How to Deprogram a Guy in 10 Days with Endless Thread

    Free yourself. What does it take to get someone to leave a cult? What happens if the cult is all around us? In this episode, Ben Brock Johnson & Amory Sivertson of NPR’s Endless Thread podcast join Sarah for a discussion about the cultier aspects of our culture, politics, and history, from the surprising origin of the anti-vax movement to the online communities that conspiracy theories can provide to lonely seekers. Together they try to figure out if it is indeed possible to “deprogram” those who wander too far into conspiracies. Digressions include the TikTok Button Girl, chicken pox playtime, and the grave sin of sleep shaming.

    The Worst Movie Ever Made? with Paul Scheer and Amy Nicholson

    From the bonus vault! What actually makes a movie “bad”? In this bonus episode, Paul Scheer and Amy Nicholson of the film podcast Unspooled tell Sarah the story of what many consider to be the worst film of all time: the 1987 adventure comedy Ishtar. From the movie’s chaotic production to its perplexing public ridicule, together they analyze whether Ishtar is as bad as people say or if our culture just loves to jump on a snarky bandwagon. Digressions include James Cameron schadenfreude, $19 AMC pretzels, and The Hangover for the AARP crowd.

    The Bluebelle with Blair Braverman

    Do we ever finish surviving? Sarah tells Survival Correspondent Blair Braverman the incredible story of 11-year-old Terry Jo Duperrault, who was lost at sea for several days on a flimsy cork dinghy. She also explains the sinister truth behind the “accident” that set her adrift, her harrowing time on the open ocean, and what her life was like after she became a survivor. Along the way, Sarah and Blair discuss the tragedy of having your story silenced, the big things that help us pull through the impossible, and how, in Terry Jo’s case and in our own, survival is never really over. Digressions include: the iconic waterski teams of Green Bay, the usefulness of sled dog armpits, and whether or not we can trust handsome men. Note: This episode is about surviving not just nature, but violent crime. This episode also involves suicide. Please listen with care.

    Dolls with Dolls with Chelsey Weber-Smith

    Don’t our dolls deserve to be creepy too? Inspired by her newfound interest in dolls that have their own dolls, Sarah and urban legend correspondent Chelsey Weber-Smith of American Hysteria dip into the history of our relationship to these sometimes unnerving little friends. They discuss Thomas Edison’s disastrous “little monsters,” the brutal backstories of haunted dolls sold on eBay, the first (adorable) academic study into the ways kids treat these particular playthings, and the new visibility of reborn dolls—and the people who love them—online. Digressions include Chelsey in Sarah’s crawlspace, the Pleasant Company, a less accomplished Sylvia Plath, and Minnie Mouse’s blood pressure.
