What if entire civilizations once existed and somehow disappeared from history?

This week, we're diving into two of the most fascinating legendary lost civilizations: Atlantis and Lemuria. From Plato's ancient account of Atlantis to the strange origins of Lemuria and the stories that grew around it, we're exploring where these legends came from, what these civilizations were supposedly like, how they may have disappeared, and why people are still searching for answers thousands of years later.

Were these places based on real lands lost to time and disaster? Were they stories that grew far beyond their original meaning? Or is there something buried beneath the legends that we haven't found yet?

Grab your imaginary archaeology gear because we're going looking for civilizations that may never have existed in the first place.

Vampire or werewolf? Asylum or haunted hospital? And somehow, those aren’t even the hardest choices.

This week, we’re playing This or That with a mix of creepy, weird, ridiculous, and nearly impossible choices. Some had obvious answers, some started great conversations, and some sent us down completely unnecessary rabbit holes. Play along and decide which one you’d pick... but remember, you can only choose one.

Can fear actually spread from person to person?

In this episode, we're diving into the bizarre world of collective hysteria, when groups of people begin experiencing the same fears, symptoms, or behaviors, sometimes without a clear physical cause. From strange historical outbreaks and community-wide panics to cases that have happened much more recently, we're looking at just how powerful group behavior can become.

What causes these events to start? How do they spread so quickly? And what happens when fear, expectation, and the people around us begin influencing what we experience? We're exploring some of the strangest cases of collective hysteria... tune in!

When you think, do you actually hear a voice in your head? Can you have full conversations with yourself? Do you see pictures instead, or is your mind completely quiet?

In this episode, we're diving into the fascinating world of inner monologue and the different ways people experience their own thoughts. We talk about what it's like inside our own heads, mental imagery, thinking in words versus pictures, ADHD brains, and the surprising realization that other people's minds may work VERY differently from your own.

So... what's going on inside YOUR head?

Just a little Porch Talk about whatever’s been on our minds lately. No real plan, no set topic, just random thoughts, side conversations, opinions, and whatever rabbit holes we manage to fall into along the way. We’re catching up, talking about life, things happening in the world, stuff we’ve been thinking about, and probably a few things that have absolutely nothing to do with anything. Basically, pull up a chair and see where the conversation takes us.

The world is full of things we've accepted as completely normal... but when you really stop and think about them, they sound absolutely ridiculous. From volcanoes and octopuses to artificial intelligence and smartphones, some of the most ordinary parts of life seem like they belong in a science fiction movie.

This week, we're questioning everything we take for granted and talking about the everyday things that don't quite feel real. Get ready for plenty of "Wait... how is that actually a thing?" moments... only if you can keep up!
