Fainting Into Quicksand: Episode 8

In this episode, Mark and Chris pinball through a wide-ranging mix of travel misadventures, childhood chaos, and the strange micro-moments that shape who we become. What starts as a debate about the "art of conversation" quickly spirals into stories of awkward haircuts, meeting people while traveling, and why surfing culture seemed cooler than anything the Midwest had to offer. From Costa Rica surf lessons to Chicago nostalgia, the guys compare friend groups, talk about how adults accidentally reinvent small talk, and revisit the eternal question: Beatles or Stones? There are frog stories (or the disappointment of not having enough of them), explosions involving childhood cherry bombs, misunderstood song lyrics, and the birth of a "new genre" of podcasting that no one asked for. It's loose, funny, reflective, and classic Mark-and-Chris chaos—an episode about trying new things, meeting weird people, and remembering why your teen haircut felt like a life-altering decision.

Fainting Into Quicksand: Episode 7

In this episode of Fainting Into Quicksand, Mark and Chris accidentally time-travel to the 1970s and 80s; a lawless era when "community porn" was hidden under trees, "free" phone numbers secretly connected you to New York, and the internet had to scream before it would let you in. They swap horror stories about phone cards, pagers that never paged, and the chaos of early dial-up life. The nostalgia spiral deepens with tales of answering machines that doubled as recording studios, beanbag chairs that qualified as furniture, and board games from the '70s apparently designed to cause minor injuries. A casual mention of tubas somehow becomes a full-blown brass symposium — complete with an ASU euphonium cameo and an impassioned defense of Rush. Things wrap up with a roast of The Shining conspiracy crowd, a pit stop in satanic backmasking panic, and a dramatic reading of one-star national-park reviews ("Too many rocks"). Give it a listen!

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
