Each episode, hosts Kaveh Taherian and Hannah Hillam choose one of their countless open browser tabs and finally take the time to read and discuss its contents until they gain enough strength to close that tab once and for all.
This week Kaveh concludes the Katamari style horrors of the Johnstown flood and Hannah shares how the Europeans had their own American Idol but for letters of the alphabet instead of singers. A listener email reveals if a childhood memory was in fact cake, and how it exploded.
Correction: the Phoenician alphabet comes after the Proto-Sinaitic script and before the Greek alphabet
