Show 881: Why Pet Snake Owners Are Like That

from Into Your Head

Neal recalls a justifiable childhood fear of igloos, explains why whistlers should be seen and not heard, celebrates half a century of not learning to swim, invents a way to trick drone enthusiasts while keeping everyone happy,  illuminates the bottom of a well for a short retreat, questions the habits of the owl community, asks why pet snake owners are like that, considers how to fatten yourself up for emergency partial self cannibalism, explains Weetabix and Shredded Wheat cereals and discusses a fear of looking like Roald Dahl, how the Channel Tunnel  miraculously met up in the middle, why wool is unhygienic, walking on the sea bed, prescription snorkels, inability to whistle or snap fingers, unanswered questions about what pigs roll around in, the trouble with Massachusetts’s wooden houses and more. MENTIONED: The Dark Wizard (HBO documentary) and 127 Hours: Between a Rock and a Hard Place by Aron Ralston. VISIT IntoYourHead.ie for everything and more. IN THE FAR FUTURE? Feeds broken?
