A listener named Markus wrote to us. A close friend of his tragically died young. Not wanting to upset his friend’s grieving parents he went to the internet for more info, and found a bunch of obits composed with AI, chock full of misinformation. hyperfixedpod.com/listen/hyp…

Markus was understandably furious. What were these sites, and why were they exploiting the death of his friend? The further we looked into it the more we found these sites were just a symptom of the way the internet itself is put together. hyperfixedpod.com/listen/hyp…

This week on our bonus feed - George is a NASCAR fanatic. And there’s one race from 1970, that doesn’t make any sense to him. We try to help, and ask you for help as well

As it stands, everyone on staff myself included currently make the same amount, which is, to be candid, not a lot. I am lucky enough to have producers working on this show that believe in what we’re making and are working for much less than they’re worth.

Listen to Alex’s new podcast Amityvilleville where he and his pal @coralinexmaria will recap all 91* movies in the Amityville franchise.
*92
Episode 3 is out today—we discuss Amityville 3-D, a surprisingly solid entry in the series and also kind of a parent trap situation where the gal from full house parent traps her folks by dying and blowing up the house (which is intact again in amityville 4)

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

Chris is a movie lover, and there are dozens of classics he’s desperate to watch. But he can’t due to his visual impairment and the lack of audio descriptions - which are far less common than closed captions.

Alex jumps in to help - but first wants to understand why this problem exists in the first place.

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…

Example tweet in question that set the internet into thinking @BadBadHats = @sjowgren

Now Playing: “Bloom” by LOCALS @Sjowgren
Dear Sjowgren from Fremont, please send me a new photo to use for you all. I am sure you're tired of me using the same picture whenever we play you.
We love you
