I Brake for Big Brother: The 2027 Kill Switch
What if your next car could decide when you’ve had enough? In this episode, we’re taking a look at the new “safety” technology coming to vehicles in 2027, including systems designed to monitor drivers and potentially intervene when they determine something isn’t right. Is it really about keeping us safe, or are we slowly handing over the keys to Big Brother?
Buckle up, because this episode might have you thinking twice before you hit the road!

Questioning the Halo: The Mother Teresa Story
Was Mother Teresa truly the saintly symbol of compassion we’ve been taught to believe—or is there more hiding beneath the halo?
In this episode, we take a closer look at the controversies surrounding Mother Teresa, from her work with the poor to questions about the conditions in her homes, her views on suffering, and the money behind her global organization.
Because when it comes to Mother Teresa… maybe we should stop taking sainthood at face value and start taking a closer look at the fine print.
Consider this your invitation to question the halo—because this episode might just have you saying, “Holy moly… there’s more to this story.”

Anatomy of an Expression
What does it take to make someone show genuine fear, disgust, joy, or surprise? In the 1920s, psychologist Carney Landis set out to answer that question with an experiment that would become infamous in the history of psychology.
This week, we explore the bizarre and ethically questionable Carney Landis facial expression experiment, where participants were subjected to increasingly uncomfortable situations—all in the name of science. What he found instead raised far more questions than answers.
And because questionable decisions made for great podcasting, we didn't stop at history. Inspired by Landis's research, we conducted a facial expression experiment of our own! No worries—we left the ethical violations in the 1920s. But the results were still revealing, hilarious, and occasionally hard to keep a straight face through.
Join us as we examine one of psychology's strangest studies, test a few theories ourselves, and discover that when it comes to reading emotions, the truth isn't always written all over your face.

Popal Fiction
In 897 AD, the Catholic Church put a dead pope on trial.
No, that's not the setup to a joke.
This week, we dig up the bizarre story of the Cadaver Synod, when Pope Stephen VI ordered the corpse of his predecessor, Pope Formosus, exhumed, dressed in papal robes, and hauled into a courtroom to answer charges from beyond the grave. What followed was a spectacle of political revenge, ecclesiastical chaos, and one of history's most jaw-dropping examples of a grave abuse of power.

Spies of a Feather
Did the CIA really recruit birds for espionage… or is this another wild goose chase? In this episode, we flap headfirst into the bizarre world of Cold War avian intelligence programs, from missile-guiding pigeons and window-sill-delivering ravens to feathered surveillance dreams that sound way too weird to be real (but somehow were). We unpack the secret history of the CIA’s winged experiments, ask the important question—who exactly was approving these budgets?—and discover that sometimes the truth is stranger than bird fiction.
So grab your binoculars and keep one eye on the power lines, because this story is for the birds… in the best possible way.

Feathers vs Firepower: The Great Emu War
What happens when a nation declares war… and loses to birds? In this episode, we dive beak-first into the bizarre and often overlooked story of the Great Emu War of 1932—when the Australian military took on an army of flightless foes and walked away utterly defeated. But was it really just a failed pest control mission… or something more?
We explore the official narrative: farmers struggling, soldiers deployed, machine guns blazing—and emus that simply refused to go down. But conspiracy theorists have long questioned the details. How did thousands of birds outmaneuver trained troops? Were the emus evolving faster than anyone realized? Or—brace yourself—was this less of a war and more of a covert test gone wildly wrong?
Grab some birdseed as we unravel the feathers to get to the truth. One thing’s for sure: this wasn’t just a military blunder… it was an emu-sing defeat.
