To wit! Whilst Shaun and Phil get their lives in order, here’s a classic you can’t even get in the Whiparound Podcast archive: episode 103! Herein exists not just an instant-classic science tidbit from the Good Doctor regarding…ugh…special gin, but ALSO one of Shaun’s ALL-TIME favorite Cabinets of the Macabre. It’s about hangings, ambition, and grim, grim etymology for the AGES. So come on in, Citizens new and veteran: enjoy yourselves some rarified Whiparound CLASSIC!

First up, Phil has a brand new take on his brand new, less-trainwreck-all-the-time segment…Headlines! See if you can spot the fake news story Phil sneaked among all the bizarre pieces too strange to make up, and whether or not Shaun can spot the faux strangeness!

In SCIENCE! this week, Phil found the very latest trend in alcohol…a type of gin made from some of the finest sh*t on earth! And…it’s all very scientific. Listen and learn, Citizen!
And the good doctor brought us all a brand new edition of REAL OR BS: this time, it’s all about dat booze, dudes! See if you know your hogwash from your hooch, huh? Huh??
And, in Three for the Road, we’ve got speedy bites of strangeness ranging from a backpacker who’s WAY too well-armed to a porcine drug conspiracy theory you’ll (thankfully) never believe!
