    95: Billy Possum and The Thing
    Nov 12 2025

    This week we deep dive into how a political cartoon of William Howard Taft inspired Billy Possum who once tried to take control of the plush market from the Teddy Bear and how a listening device within a seemingly innocent gift from the Soviets during the Yalta Conference inspired the modern day RFID. A listener email shows us a TV portal to the past.

    This week we deep dive into the true story of ten strangers who were picked to live on a "sex raft" to find out what happens when people stop being polite and start banging, and the hilarious origins of Bat Boy, the Weekly World News's flagship creation. A listener email informs us about the PT Barnum of Baseball.

    93: Gef the Talking Mongoose, Origin of Haunted Houses, and Halloween Candy Myths
    Oct 29 2025

    It's finally Halloween! This week we're joined by very spooky guest Alyssa Cooper as we learn about Gef, a talking Mongoose who haunted a rural home on the Isle of Man, how haunted houses share a history with Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum, and how unfounded rumors about razor blades in apples continue to ruin trick or treating for everyone. A listener mail tells us about an aspiring lawyer who took a bite out of crime.

My title is bad but this podcast is great. I was a listener of the one host Kaveh Taherian on his previous podcast Musicalplaining podcast. When that ended I decided to give 500 Open Tabs a listen.

The premise hosts Kaveh and Hannah Hillam spend the episode telling each other (and us listeners) about one of the open tabs they have on their phone. If you've ever gone down the rabbit hole of reading an article or Wikipedia page on a random topic this show is for you. Neither host knows what the other will talk about. There's interesting facts and stories but lots of banter between friends. It reminds me of finding some wild article or story and being like "I gotta tell my friend about this." And as the saying goes sometimes the truth is stranger than fiction.

At the end of each episode they each close the tab that they talked about in that episode. Then they have readers email in tabs they have open and give a brief summary of it. The show notes have links to the websites/articles mentioned in the episode (the formerly opened tabs). While the hosts may be closing a tab each episode you might be opening another one.

great podcast for those who go down the rabbit hole
