    Episode 41. The Christmas Rebellion (Bonus Patreon Upcycle)
    2026/09/23
    Our last upcycle before we come back in October is all about The Christmas Rebellion, aka the Baptist War, which started in Jamaica on Christmas Day in 1831.Led by enslaved Baptist deacon Samuel Sharpe, The Christmas Rebellion was one of the largest slave rebellions in history, with 60,000 of the island’s 300,000 enslaved people taking part. It contributed heavily to England’s abolition of slavery, a practice that claimed the lives of millions of Africans.This episode has a bit of information overlap with our full-length hammocks episode (which we put out a few months after recording this), but it is its own unique story!Referenceshttps://jis.gov.jm/information/jamaican-history/ https://www.britannica.com/biography/Christopher-Columbus/The-first-voyage https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/who-were-taino-original-inhabitants-columbus-island-73824867/ https://www.embassyofjamaica.org/about_jamaica/history.htm https://nlj.gov.jm/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/CHRONOLOGY_OF_THE_SLAVE_TRADE.pdf https://www.njstatelib.org/research_library/new_jersey_resources/highlights/african_american_history_curriculum/unit_2_rise_of_afro-americans/ https://www.ebsco.com/research-starters/history/transatlantic-slave-trade-begins https://www.discoveringbristol.org.uk/slavery/against-slavery/black-resistance-against-slavery/the-maroons-of-jamaica/ https://www.britannica.com/topic/buccaneer https://www.history.ox.ac.uk/article/how-england-became-the-sweetshop-of-europe https://runaways.gla.ac.uk/minecraft/index.php/slaves-work-on-sugar-plantations/ https://www.thegazette.co.uk/all-notices/content/103864 https://baptist.ca/about-cboq/what-do-baptists-believe/ https://aaregistry.org/story/samuel-sharpe-abolitionist-born/ https://blackpast.org/global-african-history/baptist-war-1831-1832/ https://wiredja.com/index.php/categories/newsberg/culture/that-kensington-fire-which-started-the-sam-sharpe-war-of-1831-32 If you know something we can ruin, send the topic and a brief hint at how it's ruined to nowitsruined@gmail.com.

    2026/09/09
    Our September upcycle kicks off with the tale of a dramatic ongoing battle to prevent the resurgence of a particularly nasty pest in the U.S.If you’d really like to challenge yourself, we recommend putting this on while you cook. If you’re still able to eat after listening to Larkin describe festering wounds, flesh-eating maggots, and blood mixed with rotting meat and eggs, congratulations! You’re as voracious as cochliomya hominivorax, aka the Screw Worm. Since recording this episode, there have been new sightings of screw worms in the United States, specifically in Texas.

    Episode 40. The Disappearance of Jacob Wetterling (Bonus Patreon Upcycle)
    2026/08/26
    On October 22, 1989, a stranger snatched Jacob Wetterling off the street near his home in St. Joseph, Minnesota. For nearly 27 years, nobody knew what happened to him. The story takes one infuriating turn after another as police missteps kept Jacob from being found for over two decades. Eventually, the full, tragic story was revealed. Kate grew up less than an hour from St. Joseph and has been haunted by Jacob’s case for as long as she can remember. When she realized the anniversary of his disappearance coincided with a bonus episode due date, she decided to dedicate that episode to him.

    Episode 39. Recycling (Feat. Forrest Shaw)
    2026/08/12
    We know we said we were going to upcycle, but instead let’s recycle! Kate and Larkin are joined by comedian and former marine biologist Forrest Shaw (CONAN, Netflix Is a Joke), who enlightens them about plastic and recycling. Plastic has gone from a miracle substance that was meant to save the elephants to the bane of the planet’s existence. But this isn’t all doom and gloom! Forrest wants us all to know that recycling does work (though not as well/often as we’d like it to), and we can all make a real difference by reducing the amount of plastic we use. Forrest is currently touring with his science/standup comedy show, The Ocean Hates You. Visit https://www.forrestshaw.net/ or Forrest’s Linktree for tickets and dates!

    Do Cornflakes and graham crackers make you want to touch yourself? No? Good, that’s part of the goal. Kate takes Larkin on a journey through the history of sexual repression and how it led to a health food movement focused on avoiding the “sin of self-pleasure.” Proponents of this movement included Sylvester Graham and John Harvey Kellogg, who we have to thank for graham crackers and Cornflakes (though it was John Harvey’s brother, W.K., who invented the latter).

    Episode 35. Privacy (Feat. Ben Silver)
    2026/06/17
    Online privacy isn’t just about your cookie settings. Corporations like Facebook have filed some truly creepy patents that reveal their ability to track everything from dust on your camera lens to who you talked to the most at a party. Target may even know you’re pregnant before you do… Kate and Larkin are joined by Ben Silver, who made them stutter, hide, and nearly walk away as he reveals all the information companies have about us. Grab your tinfoil hats and prepare to be unsettled. About Ben Silver: Ben holds an undergraduate degree in Computer Science and Math from the University of Hartford, a master’s degree in Instructional Technology and Media from Columbia University, and is currently at Columbia working on his second master’s in Data, Learning, and Society. His research has focused on technology, education, accessibility, culture, and ethics. As a creator, Ben rides the waves of his unreliable brain chemistry… it’s a fun ride, if you’d like to follow along. He lives in New York City with several dead houseplants, he loves the moon, and he wants you to drink more water. You can follow him on TikTok and Instagram. To take action against the proposed federal rule: Leave a public comment on the proposed rule attempting to erase trans and non-binary people: https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/05/29/2026-10817/regulation-for-federal-financial-assistance Kate’s language, if you want to base your comment off hers: “This proposed rule is an insidious attempt to smuggle anti-trans and non-binary sentiment into government funding. It allows for a politically appointed reviewer to deny funding based on ‘denial by the recipient of the sex binary in humans or the notion that sex is a chosen or mutable characteristic.’ § 200.205(b)(ii). §200.205(b)(i) also allows for denial of funding if an organization uses ‘Racial preferences or other forms of racial discrimination by the recipient, including activities where race or intentional proxies for race will be used as a selection criterion for employment or program participation.’ This is incredibly broad and is clearly meant to penalize any organization that dares to focus on the issues faced by non-white communities. Denial of funding based on these parameters is atrocious. It will affect not only the communities it attempts to erase, but anyone who hopes to receive help from hospitals or other organizations that may be denied funding based on these sweeping standards. It is, in a word, fascism. If this rule is to move forward, it should eliminate the portions allowing for witholding of funding based on an organization's acknowledgement of trans and non-binary individuals, and support of non-white communities. As an attorney and as a citizen, I strongly condemn the language in this proposed rule.
