In our first Halloween Special we confront our fears by looking at the Clown Sightings of 2016. We cut through the media (and meme) frenzy and figure out where all these evil “entertainers” came from. Who is the evil clown patient zero? Why are we so afraid of clowns? How many clowns are sex offenders? How can you tell a good clown from an evil clown? In a jam-packed IDAU we’ll answer those questions and more. Topics include the one who honks, It, Batman and the Joker, horseshoes, children’s psychology, and more. Oh yeah, Tori tries on a couple more accents. This might be our most entertaining episode yet. You don’t want to miss it.

You’ve come far, pilgrim. Our look into Cicada 3301 concludes with the evidence and the theory that Cicada is a cult, and we try to make sense of the myriad references Cicada used in their puzzles, as well as some potential first-hand sources inside Cicada. Topics include William Blake, existential philosophy, ego death, and more. Don’t skip Part One, seek and you will be found.

We’re back with a deep dive into another Internet rabbit hole, plunging headfirst into the strange, cryptic scavenger hunt known as Cicada 3301. In this first part we get into the background behind some shadowy puzzles and start to figure out just what Cicada could be, and we discover that the mystery isn’t over just yet. Other topics include William Gibson, Bill nerding out over old literature, cryptography, privacy, Tori tries an accent, and we make fun of Reddit. Join us next Monday for Part 2!
