March 01, 2024 02:14 - 1 hour - 101 MB

Due to unforeseen technical difficulties caused by an influx of listeners pizza secrets, solar flares, hardware malfunctions, perfectly-timed jazz music, February having an extra day, and eating too many mercury-infused Floridian pythons; this episode of Weirds of a Feather may sound like like there is more chemically injected static than your usual broadcast. We assure you this is not the case and you probably just have tinnitus (this podcast in no way is actually saying that you have tin...

February 22, 2024 10:02 - 21 minutes - 29.6 MB

January 11, 2024 15:53 - 1 hour - 97.8 MB

How much hair is a reasonable amount of hair to eat?   We’re providing the evidence and letting the court of public opinion decide in this creepy human meat of an episode.    Resources Human canni...

June 08, 2023 23:28 - 45 minutes - 63 MB

If you didn’t think we had enough new information to warrant an entire part 2 on dyslexia, well, you’d be right, because despite the title, this episode is filled with quite a bit of fluffery, with some facts about dyslexia sprinkled in along the way.    In part 2, Kristin educates us about the similarities and differences between dyslexia and ADHD, the real-world implications of having both, and why it’s important to know that you’re dyslexic, even if you can’t go back in a time machine a...
