episode Anarchic Sporing cover

Anarchic Sporing

Jared talks about spores (and other flora and fungi of our underground networks). Cara geeks out on the complicated transportation options in Cold War Berlin. And we both talk about the food at Ikea WAY more than one would expect for a podcast about trains.

Fish-flavoured Cheese

Even though YOU have known what our podcast is named for some weeks now, we just figured it out! Also, Cara talks a LOT about airports, considering that this is a train podcast. And Jared tells us about 大回り乗車 (that's oomawari jousha), AKA Around Japan for 140 Yen.
