And yes, we did talk to the Alec Watson of the Technology Connections Youtube channel
Why does every microwave have a “popcorn” button but every popcorn bag says “DONT USE THE POPCORN BUTTON?” We went deeper than I thought possible getting the answer. hyperfixedpod.com/listen/hyp…

I feel very lucky to have the job I have, I get to map out weird little corners of the world, and I cold called the guy who registered the patent for microwave popcorn sensors. We talked to the microwave industry and the popcorn industry. We have the definitive answer.

Had a blast on the @WVFRM podcast - got to talk about starting hyperfixed from scratch and what the podcast world looks like now vs when I started 13 or so years ago (much worse!)

Ok, episode 2 of Amityvilleville is out now. Time to watch Amityville II: The possession, which is insane right out of the gate.

If you are able to and interested in supporting independent media, please give @hyperfixedpod listen. I’ve respected and enjoyed Alex’s work for more than a decade, and the stories he tells stick with me long after the episodes are over.

Some of my affection for it is probably due to me being a musician, too, but regardless of your relationship with music, the latest episode of @hyperfixedpod is very, very good. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

@hyperfixedpod this week's episode is... deeply frustrating to me. Like, I don't want to spoil it, but this was unexpectedly some incredible Journalism™ (I hate to say unexpected cos the team IS journalists and they rule but I did not expect it to go so deep this week)

Going thru old episodes & Alex is much kinder than me bc I just kept thinking, public restrooms don't need change, Donny needs 🌈THERAPY🌈 but also I wanted the episode to end with a circle back telling Donny the toilet seat is cleaner than the soap dispenser to hear his reaction

Hey @AGoldmund I've just finished the latest @hyperfixedpod, really enjoyed it
Something about the content stirred up a song for me:
🎶
Heath's Pits, it's me, I'm Staphy,
I've come home, I'm so cold
Let me under your elbow
🎶
I've been singing it in my head all day 😅

@hyperfixedpod @AGoldmund hey guys I just wanted to say how touched I was by “third eye blind” - Emma’s message to Mitchell about him being able to carry his dad’s voice with him and the ensuing voicemail from his dad had me in tears. one of the most beautiful episodes ever ❤️

Immediately made me think of the @hyperfixedpod “phoebe’s origin story” episode.

This week: For the Solomon family, celebrations meant only one thing - a cake from their favorite bakery, Lords. And then suddenly, Lords Bakery was gone.
Which led us to asking Claire Saffitz if she could help.
