Tangentland
Can you slip on a grape? Why are we more afraid of spiders than ants? Why do they make reboots of movies but not books? Every 2 weeks Brendan welcomes on a guest to explore completely random topics. We start with one word and use it as a jumping off point for random conversations and hypotheticals. Once we run out of things to talk about, we pull up the next word. It's hard to describe you'll just have to listen I guess please I promise it's fun!
