Download Episode! You've already heard Miriam, but here comes the rest of the family! My brother Clayton and I hunkered down between Mounts Field and Stephen at the Fireweed hostel to record this special episode on the Death Mouth Hookin Diver. We stumbled upon nuggets of insight into terrible nursery rhymes, Tinder expectations, and donkey superheroes. Most egregious error: We were teasing our mom about how early she booked the Fireweed hostel and we joked that it was in February. It was actually July, which was when it needed to be booked because it's a hot commodity. Mom found and booked it without help from us and it was by far the best ever. We love you! Science level: medium. We hit on a lot of facts, but there were a lot on very unscientific tangents.

OBA Episode 10 - Speedy Oil Starship

My favourite chef stopped into the studio for a quick sizzle in the skillet. I've known Paul for over a decade and his has helped me through all sorts of tough times. His empathy and openness helped us discover the Speedy Oil Starship. Other notable discoveries: Nazi science, coping with decay, and hybrids. Most egregious error: There were many, but I think the most egregious was when I repeatedly said "water travels further in water". Yep, those are the words I said. What I meant was SOUND travels further in water than it does in air. It also travels faster. About 4 times faster and further. Science Level: A good bit of science in this one but not too deep. There was still time for many quick tangents into odd cul-de-sacs.

OBA Episode 12 - Flexi Turn-Toothed Trailblazer

The family series continues with my sister, the fierce and formidable Geneva. There's nothing she can't take on, including the Flexi Turn-Toothed Trailblazer. Side note: I think this may be her spirit animal on just about every level. Besides that discovery, we also explored food aggression, Buster, and sibling vulnerability. Most egregious error: there were a couple of bad facts about wolves and bears, but the most egregious error was when I neglected to ask her more about vulnerability. She shared how she felt as a child, but I really should have asked her about that as an adult woman. Especially since she has lived in dorms and in many cities away from home. Science level: some speculation, but about 90% facts.
