Episode 11: Philly Mysteries and the Reign of Lethal Robo-DJs

Send us a text

Ever wondered how a case ruled as suicide leaves behind more questions than answers? Join us as we unravel the chilling case of Ellen Greenberg, a Philadelphia school teacher whose tragic death in 2011 continues to puzzle us. With Ben Kissel, Jerii Aquino, and Kyle Ploof at the helm, we dig into the unsettling details, including those 20 baffling stab wounds, and question whether corruption or incompetence played a role in this unsolved mystery. It's a rollercoaster of emotions as we express our disbelief and frustration, all while seeking justice for Ellen.

From mysterious deaths to the quirky world of DJ robots, we then pivot to the rise of Phantom, a robotic DJ by Foundation Robotics Labs. This intriguing blend of technology and culture sparks a conversation on the militarization of robotics and the ethical dilemmas that come with it. Could cultural diplomacy possibly work with robotic DJs? And what about the unsettling realities of humanoid robots taking center stage in future conflicts? Through humor and critical insight, we navigate these futuristic waters, imagining a world where a Daft Punk comeback might just be the counterbalance we need.

Wrapping up on a lighter note, we reminisce about childhood fears of toys like Furbies while sharing a laugh over a tech party with Phantom at the DJ booth. We highlight the absurdity of human-like expectations placed on machines and muse over Spotify's AI DJ quirks. Despite the chaos of current events, we call for solidarity and community resilience, encouraging listeners to share positive stories and those adorable pet photos that warm our hearts. Together, we look forward to staying connected and supporting each other through unpredictable times.

Episode 123: Return of the Graveyard Gimps

Tonight’s nightmares: in the UK, gimps in rubber suits are crawling out of the shadows of parks and graveyards, because apparently Jason Voorhees needed kinkier competition. Science meanwhile introduces us to a brand-new spiky dinosaur, proving evolution has always been into BDSM. And finally, the Bermuda Triangle mystery has been “solved” — which is just science-speak for “it was never aliens, stop having fun.”Gimps, goth dinos, and the death of wonder — it’s all downhill from here.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
