Portada del episodio UFO Files Dropped, Scientists Are Missing, and Finals Got Hacked

Descripción

There's a virus on a cruise ship, the abortion pill is back in legal limbo, the government just dropped 162 UFO files on a website called war.gov/UFO, and hackers took down THEE school app right before finals. Just your average week in 2026. But what I’m really here to discuss is the 13 scientists and researchers connected to US nuclear, aerospace, and defense programs have died or gone missing over the past few years. The FBI is investigating. The House Oversight Committee is investigating. The White House called it "pretty serious stuff." Some cases are solved. Some aren't. And the count only increases. Coincidence? Connections? You tell me. New episode every Thursday. Find me on Instagram @indistinct.pod or @alizahollister. Rate, review, share, DM me. Love ya long time! 😽

AI Data Centers: Eminent Domain, the Jobs Myth, and Why Graduates Are Booing

A shooting outside the White House. A trillion dollar bill. A woman arrested for a Facebook post about brown water. And graduates booing billionaires off their own stages. What a week in the news... Then the booing. Graduates at universities across the country booed commencement speakers off their stages this month for pushing AI. One school just used AI to read names instead. It skipped them. Twice. They called it a "lesson learned". Cute. I also talk about what's actually behind the booing. AKA: The data centers, the eminent domain, the electric bills, the jobs that aren't really jobs, and the town hall meetings. Including one right here in Colorado Springs that had get the fire marshal involved. Also Erin Brockovich has entered the chat. And I have movies that will make you appropriately furious.

episode Vancouver, Vancouver, This Is It: Mount Saint Helens and the 169 Volcanoes in Your Backyard artwork

Vancouver, Vancouver, This Is It: Mount Saint Helens and the 169 Volcanoes in Your Backyard

We almost launched airstrikes on Iran. Shakira got $70 million back from Spain. And the DOJ was all sneaky sneaky and created a billion-dollar fund that nobody voted on. Just a normal week, right? Yesterday was the 46th anniversary of Mount St. Helens and there's this photo that was taken 13 hours before the eruption. The guy in it never came home. And the guy who was supposed to be there instead went to a job interview in California and lived… until he didn’t. You can't escape fate. Also, there are 169 active volcanoes in the United States. One of them is right off I-70 and last erupted only 4,000 years ago. You might’ve even driven right past it! Bring Her Back is messed up. North Woods was a surprisingly great read after its tough start (find me on Goodreads). And 25 Boy Scouts showed up to my first camping trip of the season. Wahoo! New episode every Tuesday.

episode Met Gala Explained: The History Behind Fashion's Biggest Night artwork

Met Gala Explained: The History Behind Fashion's Biggest Night

Last night was the Met Gala, so today I’ve got a little history lesson for ya (and the news). Spirit Airlines is gone, 17,000 people lost their jobs overnight, and the abortion pill drama is back in the courts. Also, a woman just made history at the Kentucky Derby, and California billionaires are losing their minds over a 5% tax. You know, normal Monday stuff. For the main course: Everyone watches the Met Gala for the looks, but barely anyone knows how it started. Well, I do! And you will too. Spoiler: it started as a $50 dinner with no theme, no carpet, and absolutely zero celebrities. A woman named Eleanor Lambert threw a party to save a museum department that was about to go broke. That was 1948. Then Diana Vreeland showed up and started spraying Chanel No. 5 through the air vents. Then Anna Wintour took over and banned parsley. And now it costs $100,000 just to get in the door. New episode every Tuesday. Find me on Instagram @indistinct.pod or @alizahollister. Rate, review, share. Love ya. 😽

Walpurgis Night: Halloween's Witchier, Older Sister You Never Knew About

This week I found out Halloween has a sister. 🧙‍♀️ A twin depending on how you look at it. She's been here the whoooole time. She just lives in April instead of October. But first, I break down some of the news. Elon got summoned to Paris and didn't show up. Apple and Google are running ads for apps that digitally undress women. MrBeast's company is being sued by a former employee who took work calls from her hospital bed while in active labor. An Amazon worker died on a warehouse floor in Oregon and coworkers were told to turn around and get back to work. Someone tried to shoot up the White House Correspondents' Dinner. OpenAI knew a mass shooter was planning something eight months in advance and didn't tell a soul. And Forbes put a betting widget inside an article about eight murdered children.  Then we get a little witchy. April 30th is Walpurgis Night. Halloween's twin who sits directly opposite on the calendar. She’s got the same thinning veil, same energy, same chaos. Witches have been flying to a mountain in Germany for this for centuries. Get your brooms ready. 🧹 Come, we fly! Also the flying ointment ingredients are truly something else. I’ve got the recipe, but you have to promise you won’t make it at home.
