The Media Circus (Part 2) - Spies and Sunny Holes
The Runaway
Carl and Julia return to review some more media featuring circus - this time we tackle the trapeze fight in "The Spy who Dumped Me" and that one Dior ad (you know the one). Take a listen if you want to hear what it sounds like when three circus artists' souls astral-project from their bodies and fly out through a sunny hole in the sky.

Our bodies are pretty important to what we do - this episode is a must-listen for anyone who wants to learn about how our bodies are special, what injuries we are most in danger of, and how to keep these corporeal forms flipping along far into the future.

The Runaway
Joker, Pennywise, Twisty, Jojo...what's with all these creepy clowns? Back before Christmas decorations swiftly killed our Halloween vibes, a group of clowns (and the clown adjacent) sat down to discuss that age-old question.
