TLDR - #9 – The Second Life of Marion Stokes
Marion Stokes was a hoarder. When she died last year, her family had to figure out what to do with 9 separate residences and 3 storage locations full of stuff - everything from tens of thousands of books to decades-old Apple computers. This is the story of how they found a home for the strangest artifact in her collection — 140,000 videocassettes filled with 35 years of round-the-clock cable TV news.
TLDR - #8 – The Pace Picante Salsa Robot Has Gone Haywire
This episode of TLDR contains some explicit language.
This has been a crazy season for internet hoaxes.

We talk to the comedian behind the hoax, Randy Liedtke, who has his own very funny podcast called The Bone Zone.
