This week, the "forever cruise" The Villa Vie Odyssey, kicked all of its passengers off in Cambodia, citing fuel costs. @hyperfixed did a ton of reporting on our premium feed about the chaos on the ship, so we have unlocked some of it on our main feed. hyperfixedpod.com/listen/hyp…

lastly, I know that not everyone can afford to support the show, but if you believe in what we're doing, the next best way to support is to tell your friends about the show. Download eps for them! Force them to listen on long car rides! Thanks so much for your support.

We are a small show and our margins are razor thin. I was able to give my staff raises this year, but my goal is also to provide healthcare in the future. So if you like the show and can do so, please consider supporting! hyperfixepod.com/join

On our show we take listener problems and try to solve them, regardless of how big or small they are. A recent episode liked was about why every microwave in the US has a "popcorn" button while every popcorn bag says "DO NOT USE THE POPORN BUTTON" hyperfixedpod.com/listen/hyp…

Hi, my name is Alex Goldman -- you may know me as the host of @replyall. These days I am making a longform narrative podcast called @hyperfixedpod. I am making a small thread to ask to consider becoming a premium member of our completely independent show hyperfixedpod.com/join

And yes, we did talk to the Alec Watson of the Technology Connections Youtube channel
Why does every microwave have a “popcorn” button but every popcorn bag says “DONT USE THE POPCORN BUTTON?” We went deeper than I thought possible getting the answer. hyperfixedpod.com/listen/hyp…

I feel very lucky to have the job I have, I get to map out weird little corners of the world, and I cold called the guy who registered the patent for microwave popcorn sensors. We talked to the microwave industry and the popcorn industry. We have the definitive answer.

Had a blast on the @WVFRM podcast - got to talk about starting hyperfixed from scratch and what the podcast world looks like now vs when I started 13 or so years ago (much worse!)

Ok, episode 2 of Amityvilleville is out now. Time to watch Amityville II: The possession, which is insane right out of the gate.

If you are able to and interested in supporting independent media, please give @hyperfixedpod listen. I’ve respected and enjoyed Alex’s work for more than a decade, and the stories he tells stick with me long after the episodes are over.

Some of my affection for it is probably due to me being a musician, too, but regardless of your relationship with music, the latest episode of @hyperfixedpod is very, very good. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

@hyperfixedpod this week's episode is... deeply frustrating to me. Like, I don't want to spoil it, but this was unexpectedly some incredible Journalism™ (I hate to say unexpected cos the team IS journalists and they rule but I did not expect it to go so deep this week)

Going thru old episodes & Alex is much kinder than me bc I just kept thinking, public restrooms don't need change, Donny needs 🌈THERAPY🌈 but also I wanted the episode to end with a circle back telling Donny the toilet seat is cleaner than the soap dispenser to hear his reaction
