Episode 12 - EC Comics
Once more, we’re doing a little something different!
Believe it or not, we’re going to try being a bit more structured and focused. As such, this week’s episode will be a look at one specific story: the tale of EC Comics.
Once an industry juggernaut primarily responsible for a boom in horror comics - including EC’s beloved Tales From The Crypt - a 1950s crackdown on comics because of their supposed links to juvenile delinquency led to the company’s fall from grace.
We cover their story this week!

But that’s not all! We also explore symbols, the merits of memes, humor and the creative process, classic cult comics, and much, much more!
And everything includes, but is not limited to: the creative process, the perils of dating and breakups, forgetfulness, the proper way to enjoy entertainment, the modern political climate, Happy Meal toys, forgetfulness, collectables, fandom, embarrassing moments, and much, much more!

No one is safe this week! (I’m looking right at you, S.)
We’re still going to explore the origins of some words and phrases, but this week we turn back the clock to explore the year 1992!

Episode 7 - From Columbus to Cool World
And now for something a little different!
We’re still going to explore the origins of some words and phrases, but this week we turn back the clock to explore the year 1992!
It’s not all Dream Team and Crystal Pepsi, though, as Jackson and B.P. recount the events that shaped the year for them - and before you go getting any ideas, Pizza Hut, we think the statute of limitations is up.

It’s a fun time for all!

Howdy, y’all!
This week, we take a look at the origin of three Old West phrases! Of course, we do so as only we can: by taking tons of hilarious and/or poignant detours along the way.

Episode 4 - From Stratemeyer to Sanitariums
Podantic is back, and this week we’re taking a deep, deep dive into the hidden origins of the Stratemeyer Syndicate.
If you’ve ever read a book in the Hardy Boys or Nancy Drew series, or seen one of the myriad television adaptations of either, you may be surprised to know that the authors behind those two series, Franklin W. Dixon, and Carolyn Keene, respectively, weren’t real people.
We also look into other famous ghostwriters, the sordid history of William Shakespeare, and much more!
Oh yeah, and we talk about cereal.

Episode 3 - From Exposé to Expoz
This week, Jackson and BP start by exploring the history of the super-successful 80’s freestyle group Exposé. The real story behind the band - more specifically, the original trio that had been swept under the rug for decades - has only recently emerged.
Along the way, more assorted topics are explored: the origin of pickling, French accent markers, and more!
And our quote game, temporarily named Who Said That?, returns!

Episode 2 - From Soup to Nuts to Maya Angelou
In this episode, Podantic begins to take shape!
With a show under our belt, we've done a bit of tinkering, and we've decided to introduce some new segments to the show! First' we discuss what we got wrong, then we get on with our usual brand of comedic knowitallism (it's a word now! I just invented it!)
Later on, we'll explore Jackson Welles' Adventures in Dating!
At the end: a new game! We'll provide a quote, and leave it up to one of our hosts (and you, the audience) to decide: Who Said It! This week, B.P. provides the quotes, and Jackson does the guessing.
And of course, where we go in between these shiny new segments is anyone's guess!
So listen up! You might learn something.
Episode 1 - From Pilots to Gender Reveals
Welcome to the first episode of Podantic! If you're as obsessed with accumulating useless information as we are, you've certainly come to the right place.
In this episode, we start with the origin point for most modern television programs: the pilot. Why are they called pilots? How have famous shows changed from their pilots? Ever wanted to know more? No? We're going to tell you anyway!
And while we're at it, we're also going to tell you how the whole gender reveal party craze started.
So listen up! You might learn something.
