Stuff They Don't Want You To Know - What’s Happening In Hong Kong?

Since the late 1990s the former British colony of Hong Kong has existed in a tense, liminal state with mainland China. The region is governed by the "one country, two systems" policy, yet a recently-proposed extradition bill has triggered massive, ongoing protests as the citizens of the region fear their rights will increasingly erode under the thumb of the PRC. Both pro-autonomy and pro-Beijing forces are convinced a conspiracy is afoot -- so which, if any, of their conspiracy theories are true?

The Goods from the Woods - Episode #262 – “Chasing the Dragon” with Liz Glazer

In this episode, the Goods from the Woods Boys (Rivers, Sam, and Carter) sit down with comedian, actor, and all around delightful person Liz Glazer! This is an episode all about DRUGS and the insane, hilarious lies they tell your brain. It's also an episode all about self-improvement through sobriety, acting classes, and a positive attitude. It's also about Carter accidentally burning his pelvis with a hot pair of pants and a machete-wielding Florida man who was recently arrested for threatening his friend with said machete after he refused to flush the toilet. This episode is wild AF and we know you're gonna love it!  Follow Liz on Twitter @ElizabethGlazer. 

The Allusionist - 105. F’ood

When is cheese not cheese, or crab not crab? When it’s spelled cheez or krab or even ch’eese or cra’b… Novelty spellings for foods-that-aren’t-made-out-of-the-thing-they-sound-like-they’re-made-out-of go back a pretty long way - ‘cheez’ was THE cheese-like substance of the 1920s - but right now, with plant-based foods on the rise, we’re seeing more of them. Branding consultant and name developer Nancy Friedman casts her expert glance over the apostrophes and deliberate misspellings on foodstuffs; and vegan restaurant owner Melanie Boudens recounts how, this summer, the words ‘cheddar cheese’ on her menu landed her in trouble.

Stuff They Don't Want You To Know - Religious Syncretism: The Ultimate Conspiracy?

Religions are as old as humanity, and predate the written word. They've also been home to a great many secrets -- in fact, some religions have been predicated on secrecy, and others are amalgamations of two preexisting belief systems. Join the guys as they explore the strange rise of religions, the ways in which they have melded over time and, ultimately, ask whether there are any real secret religions active in the world today.
