    Danger lurks on escalators and in our bodies as sex and malls disappear
    2026/02/13
    Have you ever wondered what would happen if you face-planted on an escalator while trying to catch a flight? This week, we’ll look into the data on escalator mishaps with the Dana & Parks podcast out of KMBZ in Kansas City. We’re also going to hear from an expert who spoke to KCBS Radio on the Bay Area about why another location for possible escalator wipeouts – malls – are disappearing all over the country. Another thing that’s disappearing? Sex, according to multiple studies. We’ll hear more about that from Chad Hartman out of WCCO in Minneapolis, as well as a concerning uptick in heart attacks from an expert who spoke to WWJ Newsradio in Detroit.

    Down the rabbit hole with Mad Hatters, the Doomsday clock, rogue mountain lions and sasquatch
    2026/01/30
    This week, we’re going to go down the rabbit hole in New Orleans with the Magical Krewe of MadHatters. While that krewe is focused more on beautiful costumes and rocking parade floats for Mardi Gras than rabbits running around checking their pocket watch like in the Alice in Wonderland tales they take their name from, another time of watch is looming over us. A clock, to be more precise. The Doomsday Clock. We’ll also head to the West Coast, where a mountain lion trapped in a San Francisco alley was freaking out residents this week. To round out the show, hear a more… esoteric sighting of an alleged sasquatch. Featuring audio from: The Dave Glover Show out of KMOX, KCBS Radio, WWL Radio and WWJ Newsradio.
