135 – Top 5 Fictional Drugs

Say no to drugs (unless you are ranking them).

After a well deserved break in the PodCavern, we are back to full power to do what we do best on this show – ranking!

Drugs can be a hard thing to talk about as the word often has some mixed connotations to it. That’s why we won’t pretend we are experts on the real thing and will rank drugs based on things we DO know – FICTION! So this week join Tuong and The Sonar Network/That’s How I Remember It’s Michael Mongiardi, John Richardson, and Raul Delgado as they get high on life and inject a Top 5 Fictional Drugs list into your veins/ears.

112 – Top 5 Conspiracy Theories

Question everything (even this podcast).

Humans have this undying and relentless need to uncover the truth to things. However, sometimes an answer to a question is not satisfying enough and we are left in this state of “well that’s too simple” or “I don’t buy it”. That’s why we gravitate towards conspiracy theories, as wild as some may be. They contain just enough nuggets of truth in there to make things plausible and their explanation can throw everything back into question on what we know. So join Tuong La and co-conspirators Patricia Eddu, Stefanie McBurns, and Stenley Philippe as they question everything (including themselves) while ranking Top 5 Conspiracy Theories!
