Medium Dives is where we chat about anything we find interesting enough to share - society, science, history, cults, crime, or just finding the answers to the things that keep us up at night. Our promise to you is that we will look into things at least a medium amount, but we are too lazy to commit to a deep dive. We absolutely will get off topic, but we think you’ll be entertained. We try to post a new episode every month - follow our Instagram where we will post when a new episode is up! Feel free to email us with topic requests, comments, questions, or just to say hi!Instagram: @mediumdivespodEmail: mediumdives@gmail.com Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

E7: This Episode Is Not About Baba Yaga

Really, it's not about Baba Yaga. Alicia talks about doodles found on microchips, and Tyler tells us about the Four Pests Campaign in China that resulted in a horrific famine.

Episode E6: Monkey Selfie Copyright Qualms and Big Milk Propaganda Cover

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.

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

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.

Episode E3: Who Is That Behind Me, and Is That a Trillion Bugs Underneath You? Cover

E3: Who Is That Behind Me, and Is That a Trillion Bugs Underneath You?

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.
