  • Episode 034: Spider Megacity / How the Planets Died
    May 11 2026

    In this episode, Nick reveals the shocking surprise explorers discovered in a cave on the Greece-Albania border: the world's biggest spiderweb, home to over 100,000 spiders and part of a fascinating and bizarre ecosystem. Then, Dave examines the origin of the inner planets of the solar system and the very real possibility that there might have been life on other planets than Earth. But if there was, what happened to it?

  • Episode 033: The Bone Collector / Origin of the Moon
    May 4 2026

    In this episode, Nick introduces us to a rare and unusual caterpillar, one that's carnivorous, cannibalistic, hides in spiderwebs, and makes armor out of the bones of its prey. Then, Dave reveals the origin of the moon. If you think you already know how the moon formed, the truth is weirder and wilder than you thought!

    Apr 27 2026

    In this episode, Nick takes a look at the opening of Tutankhamun's tomb in 1922 and the string of untimely deaths among those present that immediately followed. Was it a supernatural curse or was something else to blame? Then, Dave introduces us to NASA's Parker Solar Probe, an incredible but little-known feat of engineering built to withstand millions of degrees as it passes through the sun's corona.
