A listener email fills in the gaps of our Emperor Norton knowledge.

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
