Ep. 28 - Cadaver dogs might sound spooky at first, but there’s so much more than meets the nose. In this episode of Hyperfixation Time, Erin and Danny dig into the fascinating world of these highly trained pups. From the science behind their incredible sense of smell and the history of their training to surprising fun facts and real-life stories, we explore how cadaver dogs bring closure to families, help law enforcement, and even contribute to public safety. What seems morbid on the surface is actually a story of bravery, compassion, and teamwork, showing that sometimes the most unusual topics can have the most positive impact.

Episode 27 - In this episode of Hyperfixation Time, Danny surprises Erin and brings in our friend Amy, who takes us on a deep dive into the rich, expressive world of American Sign Language (ASL).

**Before we begin, we want to be clear: we are not Deaf or hard of hearing, and we’re not experts. This episode comes from a place of curiosity, respect, and a desire to learn, not to speak over the Deaf community or present ourselves as authorities.

With that in mind, Amy guides us through the history of ASL, how its grammar and structure differ from spoken English, and the nuances that make it a fully realized language (not just “English with hand motions,” as we quickly learn). We also explore etiquette, common misconceptions, and some of the ongoing conversations and controversies within and around the Deaf community.

Think of this episode as three friends sitting at the edge of something vast and important, asking questions, getting things wrong occasionally, and trying to understand better as we go.

Episode 26: Ben Platt

What does it take to become the voice of a generation — and then have everyone turn around and argue about it? This week, Erin's hyperfixation is Ben Platt: a kid who grew up performing, became a Broadway legend before 25, and made the world cry every single night as Evan Hansen. We're getting into his full history, his impact on musical theater, the controversies that followed one of his most iconic roles, and what he's got coming next. Danny had no idea this was coming, and honestly? Neither did we. Pull up a seat, we're Waving Through a Window, because this one's got range — just like Ben.

*Trigger Warning* - This episode discusses suicide. Please listen with care.
