Jingles All The Way

Music - beautiful art for your ears, or evil manipulative super weapon?!?! You decide, in this ear worm of an episode of The Unintended Audience. This time Tom and Matty (now in high fidelity!) discuss how musical compositions can be shared, expanded upon, and forged into new forms of art, enjoyed by entirely new audiences. Or they can be used to make you do things like go to certain to websites, buy insurance, or get off at your correct subway stop! Plus, the momentous reveal of our new Twitter account: @TheUAPodcast. Go there and do some tweets at us!

Childs Play

View the world though a child's eyes in this episode of The Unintended Audience! Tom and Matty delve into the fun, strange and sometimes uncomfortable ways in which adults play with stuff meant for children. So whether you're a collector of toy GI Joe's, someone who gets super turned on when pretending to be a puppy, or you just can't help but identify with Rainbow Dash because of her respect of loyalty and amazing flying skills, this pod's for you!

In-fail-ible

Have YOU ever: Had a bacterial infection cured by antibiotics?  Microwaved a burrito?  Read a blog to make yourself feel better about how bad you are at cake decoration?  If so, then you have benefited from the unintended upsides to other people’s failures!  In this episode of The Unintended Audience, Matty and Tom discuss one of these things plus other examples of cool stuff that is sometimes created out of failure.  (Even if it’s just a schadenfreude-filled story about a man-child and his attempt at home improvement).

Out of Place

Grab your Hello Kitty-themed silverware and dig into your doggie bag from last night's trip to Outback Steakhouse as Tom and Matty take your ears on a voyage around the world! This most cultured of episodes is all about the joys of appropriation. And we once again prove our old theories: Americans love British shows about amateur baking and Germans, of course, love David Hasselhoff.
