Feed Me, Seymour: The Terrifying World of Carnivorous Botany

Grab a cup of coffee, tea, or whatever you’ve got, and welcome back to Bree’s World . Today, we are diving deep into the world of botany that absolutely refused to play by the rules. First, we’re giving some well-deserved love to the 1986 practical-effects masterpiece Little Shop of Horrors . Then, we get into the real freaks of nature: the 700+ species of carnivorous plants that looked at regular soil, said "no thanks," and evolved a completely terrifying alternative strategy to survive. From t...

The IBM Time Capsule & Historical Delirium

Grab a warm drink, adjust your blanket situation, and get cozy. Today, Bree is celebrating a long-awaited return to coffee, appreciating a perfectly mild Santa Rosa afternoon, and reflecting on a viral video of a pristine, frozen-in-time abandoned IBM corporate retreat. Lastly, we dive into a brand new "Historical Delirium" featuring William Buckland—the 19th-century dean who made it his life's mission to eat every animal on earth (and didn't stop at animals).

Photosynthesizing Shirts, Slime Molds, and the Great Emu War

Grab your coffee (or join Bree in running on 7 out of 8 cylinders) because we are diving deep into the wonderfully weird today. Bree corrects some crucial childhood snack history (spoiler: it was Airheads, not Laffy Taffy), contemplates whether she'll soon need hedge clippers to prune her wardrobe, and explores the bizarre, brainless intelligence of slime molds. Finally, we wrap up with a trip to 1932 for a breakdown of the time the Australian military officially surrendered to a flock of giant,...

Goose, 90s Snack Heartbreak, Gen Z Walkmans, and the Great Molasses Flood

Hey listeners, Bree here! Grab your beverage of choice (because I’m currently on day two of zero coffee and the caffeine withdrawal is real ). Today, we’re hanging out, listening to the local goose songs, and diving into a chaotic mix of nostalgia, generational theft, and sticky historical disasters. In this episode, we talk about: Beloves 90's Snacks: We look back at 12 beloved treats we’re still mourning. Gen Z's New Obsession with Gen X Culture: From paying $70 for eBay Walkmans and rocking h...

just hanging out, grocery haul

Summer has officially arrived, but host Bree is keeping it at a respectful distance. Broadcasting from a perfectly mild day in Santa Rosa, Bree discusses a Walmart grocery haul (featuring a Discord-induced pudding craving and a first-time trial of LMNT electrolytes). Plus, a look at a wholesome moment of band synergy as Connecticut indie-jam icons Goose tip their hats to Brooklyn art-rockers Geese, and an honest confession about the slippery slope of becoming a stereotypical, chicken-tender-wors...

Capt. Lou Albano Commercials & the Star Trek Holodeck

On this Sunday, June 21st episode, Bree is hanging out and diving into a little bit of everything. We start with a nostalgic trip down memory lane to Mahopac, NY, tracking down hilarious vintage commercials and hotlines from hometown wrestling legend Captain Lou Albano. Then, we've got a fresh music recommendation with the track "Good2B" by Norwalk's own jam band, Goose, before diving into the latest pop culture and tech headlines. We're talking about Rosie O’Donnell stepping up to guest-host Ji...

Dog, Burrito, Mr. Socko, AI...

Grab a plastic bag and buckle up. On today’s episode, I’m recapping a jam-packed day: the absolute worst vegetarian burrito I’ve ever eaten, a mile-and-a-half walk, and the realities of confronting weight loss and GLP-1 fears. We also take a trip down memory lane to the time Mankind proved he was the wholesome legend we always knew he was. Finally, we get into the heavy stuff: a cold shoulder from Gemini, the endless curse of the John Stamos clickbait algorithm, and a breakdown of why humanity h...

Cat Filters, Ham Radio, and the Wildest Marathon in History

It turns out the internet didn't invent weirdos—it just gave them a screen. This week, we dive headfirst into the delightfully bizarre subculture of late-night ham radio operators, where the airwaves of the 75-Meter Band feel like an unmoderated 1970s Reddit forum broadcasted out of a garage. We also break down a DIY audio disaster involving cat water fountain filters, trace the unexpected wartime roots of Electro-Voice microphones, and recap the legendary chaos of the 1904 Olympic Marathon (fea...

Pizza Psychopaths, Fast Food Power Rankings, & Space Telecoms

Summer is rapidly approaching, Gregg Allman is blasting, and Bree is officially questioning the psychological stability of anyone who doesn't have an opinion on pizza crust. From the massive 150% menu surge of Detroit-style industrial square pans to the actual data behind America's regional pizza wars, we break down why your food choices dictate your trustworthiness in society. Plus: a quick look at the best fast-food double cheeseburgers, and how SpaceX wants to buy T-Mobile.

Today, Bree breaks down her latest grocery haul—including a highly anticipated $6 bar of Tony's Chocolonely—and dissects why her Discord friend thinks she has "smart cockatoo meets loyal black lab" energy. Plus, we check in on the John Stamos takeover of her newsfeed, review the premiere of 100 Cooks , and ask the ultimate question: Has the Dubai Chocol...

Of Midcentury Libraries, Spy Turtles, and a Knicks Miracle

Grab a warm mug of dark roast and let the rush of the world wash away. Today, Bree celebrates an unbelievable sports milestone before diving into the shifting legacy of corporate giving—asking why today's tech giants give us algorithms instead of the physical libraries of the past. Plus, a nostalgic dive into the bizarre food marketing of the '70s, a look at John Stamos's unexpected internet headlines, and a trip into the strange reality of deep-sea "spy turtles" and recently declassified Pentag...

Grab your coffee and a piece of chocolate, because host Bree is taking you on a wild ride through the delightfully absurd corners of history, tech, and the internet. In today’s episode, we kick things off with a brief, beautiful musical intermission featuring Sjowgren’s "Cool Over Kind" before diving headfirst into the great late-night debate. Is David Letterman truly the GOAT, or does Johnny Carson still hold the crown? Bree breaks down the subjective nature of late-night comedy and reminisces ...

ThinkPad Era Begins, Peach Cottage Cheese Wins & 10,000 Concerts

I switched to my ThinkPad T470, got a questionable Walmart grocery substitution (peach cottage cheese??), and somehow it actually hit. Also in this episode: protein mashed potatoes are real, a guy with 10,000+ recorded concerts is uploading history to the internet, Kanye West comeback talk, a woman accidentally ordering the most expensive thing on the menu, and why there might be wild nutrias running around California on purpose. Random, honest, and kind of all over the place—in a good way....

Gut Bacteria, AI Drama, and Some Music!!!!

Today’s episode is a mix of health routines, random thoughts, and some interesting headlines. I talk about my current cottage cheese routine (yes, pineapple stays separate), drinking a cherry limeade Poppi, and how I might be going a little overboard with probiotics and prebiotics—basically “fibermaxxing” and “bacteria-maxxing” at this point. Then I get into some thoughts on microplastics (including something weird about kitty litter), and shift into a discussion about the buzz around Anthropic’...
