  • Exploring Your World
    Oct 28 2025

    The trio reunites to dissect (not literally) The Mighty Ducks, deconstruct (not literally) modern advertising, and demonstrate (literally) why callbacks don't work if you didn't record the thing being called back to. Oh, and there's a bit of The Curiosity Show in there too!

  • Mexican Jumping Beans
    Oct 13 2025

    It's a Pod Full of Beans with Brendan and Ben, but not Tom, because his name does not share enough letters with the multifaceted legume. We talk jumping beans (both real and matchbox-tumbled foil), breaking bags of Bag-Of-Beans branded bean bag beans, a book full of beans by Richard Fowler, and zippers. And MacGuyver.

  • The Mystery of the Stolen Sheep
    Oct 1 2025

    It finally happened, a Ben solo episode (not referring to Kylo Ren's given name, but maybe that'll be good for the algorithm?). Alone on a deserted highway at night outside of Litchfield in the Top End of Australia, experience the fairly low-fi ramblings of a parent whose baby has finally fallen asleep and is left to ponder the stars, the deep cuts of Harrison Ford's filmography, and a peculiar coffee table in the Mystery of the Stolen Sheep clip from The Curiosity Show.

  • Egg In A Bottle
    Sep 17 2025

    We're going into the musical mind of Brendan this week as he and Ben celebrate the taste and fashion of a couple of budding dorks. If Tom was there it would be much trendier. And Deane shows us how to get a boiled egg into an old-fashioned milk bottle, and some talk of Full House for good measure.

  • Spin Dryer and The Book
    Sep 1 2025

    The Prodigal Dubs is back with Tom and Ben to unsheathe a vintage copy of the titular book, as well as reminisce over top-loader washer-dryer combos, the truth behind centrifugal force, and of course more thoughts about The Muppet Christmas Carol.

  • Mona Lisa Smile
    Aug 26 2025

    It's the Crisp brothers, Ben and Tom, sans the amazing Brendan and his amazing microphones, debating whether or not Mona Lisa is smiling, what happens when someone breaks the internet for real, and quantum computers. Oh and Muppets.

  • Expansion and Contraction
    Aug 19 2025

    We're back! After Tom's travels to Japan and the U.S.A., the Mind Stretchers reunite to discover the joys of Fuji Rock Festival '25 and capsule hotels, debate which part of the dishwasher you'd prefer to get washed in, and learn how metal and rubber reacts to heat.

  • Homemade Thermometer
    Jul 22 2025

    We're back! From the disruption of flu and music tours, Ben and Brendan reconnect to discuss Deane's homemade thermometer experiment, Superman and the film music of John Williams, and how rainbows work.
