It was our first full year of podcasting, and what a year it was. As we recover from the latest romaine lettuce panic and sip ersatz Lacroix with “cloudberries” because we cannot have nice things, we explore the lowlights of 2018 grouped into the topics for which we are best known: insaniacs, salad, innovation, politics (minus Individual-1) animals, and the world of fashion. We reopen the case of the Canadian salesman who tried to chill pepperoni by opening a window and inadvertently let 40 vomiting seagulls into his hotel room; pay tribute to the man who attempted to distribute cheeseburgers to the poor and wound up naked inside of a pipe organ; and we recall the woman who brought her German shepherd on a United Airlines flight and, when she landed, received a Great Dane. Also: the rise, fall and subsequent resurrection of pimp politician Dennis Hof; water pickles; reptile therapy; a Saudi fashion runway ghost race; the unrelenting power of the peacock lobby; the Australian sausage identity crisis and, just under the wire, Kevin Spacey resurfaces in a poorly lit YouTube video reprising his role as Frank Underwood.
