Amateur Scientist

We expose the giants who built Stonehenge, investigate Bosnian mystery balls, have a foam party in Japan, explore the dangers of video games, and bust some more of history's mythteries.

We investigate sex changing frogs, run from the Worcester Werewolf, praise Prince, ponder anti-racist lions, and bust some of history's greatest mythteries.

We insult the Turkish president, change our diet to attract aliens, uncover the secrets of the hobbits, investigate the burial of King Arthur, and rap for love.

We look into whether vaccines cause autism, explore Texan dirt to find remnants of Noah's flood, and chronicle the many ways in which Alex Jones has stood up to tyranny and trendiness.

We protect ourselves against selfie hexes, investigate standing desks, listen to great tits, and list the top five dumbest presidents.

We check on Richard Simmons, contact dead loved ones, reevaluate Neanderthals, get inked, and love pugs.

We hunt down a Nazi priest, dig up some ghost brides, possess an Iron Man, catch a crooked cop, and hear from our advertisers.

We investigate female genital mutilation, dig into a former pope's personal life, goad God into action, flirt with Egyptians, remember a legend, and honor a covenant.

We procure a possessed luck doll, bury ourselves with mushrooms, give ghosts a ride, celebrate comedy legends, and solve emoji riddles.

We participate in body modification, experiment with techno-witchcraft, take some magic mushrooms, create our own echo chamber, get to the bottom of allergies, and prove Stephen Hawking sometimes gets it wrong.

We try to talk to the only person ever to fire upon a UFO, ask Hillary Clinton about her disclosure plans, investigate Vietnamese space balls, sniff Vladimir Putin, arrange for an exorcism, and give advice on stage names.

We crack open Vladimir Putin's book of one liners, look for alcohol in a woman's intestines, explore the relationship between humans and Bigfoot, and tell a personal tale about an encounter with an MLB great.

Brian's away for the holidays, so sister podcast Amateur Scientist Sports Talk (ASS Talk) with Wayne Cratchman fills in.
