Episode 31: El Niño & The Pictish Beast

It's KT's birthday episode!!! To celebrate our lauded athlete, she's decided to clap back at several male TikTokers who think they can just throw around the term "Super El Niño" with reckless abandon. Not so fast, dweebs, KT is on the case with the first part of her El Niño/La Niña series. Then, to further celebrate, Maddie brings us the story of the Pictish Beast who is just a funny lil guy!! Join us every other Wednesday(ish) for new episodes!

Shared Braincell 5: The 1815 Eruption of Mount Tambora & the Year Without Summer

Beware: mountain that looks like mountain but causes earthquakes might actually be volcano. Additional warning: if your crops are failing, it might be the 60 megatons of sulfur in the atmosphere! Find out why by listening to KT and Maddie discuss the science and the history of Mount Tambora as they pass one braincell back and forth!

Episode 30: Glue is Horses & Hildegard von Bingen

Happy episode 30 and buckle up folks, it's gonna be a bumpy ride! After battling it out with both technical issues and Maddie's hangxiety, KT discusses how glue is (or, more accurately, used to be) horses, but don't talk to her about gelatin, she's not ready for that conversation. Then Maddie brings us into the world of Catholic mysticism with the story of Hildegard von Bingen and her visions which we are partly scared of and partly can really get on board with. Listen every other Wednesday and follow us on YouTube and Instagram @WherePastMeetsPlanet !

Episode 29: Dire Wolves & The Library of Alexandria

The moral of today's yapping is that both KT and Maddie apologize mid-puke, KT has never resisted the siren song of a fireball shot, and neither of us will ever stop talking about American Girl Dolls. After discussing such pressing matters, KT teaches us all about dire wolves, who are so not back, unless you only care about looks! Then Maddie tells the story of the Library of Alexandria and how it was maybe destroyed? Or maybe it wasn't, we don't really know!
