• Episode 39 - A Quick Check In
    Nov 5 2024

    Welcome to Episode 39 of Wait...That's a Thing.

    With a whole confluence of events including Halloween, the End of the Quarter, Playoff Sports, Minor Kitchen Rennovations, the End of Daylight Savings Times and other Inconveniences that could derail a humble podcast, we couldn't find time to do a fully-fledged episode this week.

    HOWEVER, on the verge of the Election, we thought a quick check in would be in order. Catching up on the week that was, having a peripheral chat about the election, sharing some examples of why leaving your house is not a great idea, and looking at some ways to potentially perk up your post election week.

    We'll be back with a full episode next week.

    Thanks for listening!

  • Episode 38 - Stuffed in a Phone Booth with Jambo
    Oct 29 2024

    Welcome to Wait That's a Thing - Episode 38!

    Definitely a Friday afternoon at the end of a long week! Halloween is near, the leaves are falling, and we're both recovering from a marathon parent teacher conference sesh.

    But...that won't slow us down from talking about Elephant Human Rights, a minor medical emergency scare during dinner, one of the greatest moments in broadcasting history, and how kids in the 50's got up close and personal with each other.

    All that, plus three mashup snacks, a conkers controversy update, and other tidbits that can only be relevant in an old upholstery shop.

    Thank you, for taking so much time out of your day to listen!

  • Episode 37 - Hej Bangladesh
    Oct 21 2024

    We are super excited to discuss an uptick in listeners from Sweden and Bangledesh!

    Not quite sure how relateable or relevant an outlandish conker constrovery, flagpole sitting, and plant based "meat" are in Stockholm, or Dhaka, but that's some of the offerings on the table in this week's episode.

    Additionally, some a deliciously spicy snack courtesy of a thingee, plus a deliciously intriguing topic from a regular emailer to WaitThatsAThing@gmail.com. Lots going on in the upholstery shop this week.

    Thank you, for taking so much time out of your day to listen!

    Welcome to Episode 35 of Wait, That's a Thing?

    This week, we are coming live from the bunker on the eve of homecoming weekend! We discuss the issue with excessive expectoration, government intrusion in pet ownership, the strange origins of artifical vanilla, a disgraced former athlete, and some other things that have come to a bitter end.

  • Episode 32 - The Return of Mr. Sutch!
    Sep 16 2024

    Welcome to Episode 32!

    Podcasting is often a marathon, rarely a sprint, and that's even more true when you have someone sitting in the Third Nerd Chair!

    Colin Sutch joins us in the virtual upholstery shop for a long-awaited return to the podcst.

    He helps dive into crucial topics like the future of older Disney Attractions, the MIT's IgNobel award winners for 2024, how many beans belong in a good chili, and devising experiments to answer age old questions. Big thanks to Colin for taking time out of his Saturday morning.

    So many things, so little time!

    And thank you, for taking so much time out of your day to listen!
