Size Matters: Canada's Biggest & Smallest Stuff
In this episode, Dropbear and Panda go coast to coast exploring Canada's most oversized and absurdly tiny attractions — from giant lobsters and paperclips to six-seat chapels and taxidermied gopher dioramas. With Cold Garden's Mango Ranch Water in hand, they debate whether Alberta's "big stuff"...

Dropbear and Panda Save Canada - Introduction
Our previous season made a huge splash across the globe; we received numerous award nominations, distributed a lot of socks, and made a genuine effort to save the world! Now look at it!! Erm.... yeah, okay. The world is vast, and it was hard to save the entire planet. This time we thought we'd...

E090 - The First Dose is Thick
It's a bird! It's a plane! It's…. Better yet, we'll just tell you that we don't know about UFOs, but if you click here we'll explain to you what we don't know even though we don't know enough to know how to tell you what we do or do not know… Hint: It's in the name. They click-baited us with...
-
E089 - Not Even On The Radar
When UFOs show up and barely make it on the radar (no pun intended) that's definitely… something to think about. Over some good gin and a new sock jingle, of course! We talk drones and UFOs, review Viva la Dirt League's "Baelin's Route", and muse over BroodX cicadas and wildlife conservation. Not…

E088 - Crossing Swords With Nobody Episode
We've got two reviews today - and we're not angry with one, per se… just disappointed. Which (if we take any cue from our parents) is worse than being mad. Much, much worse. A man from Italy finally gets busted after skipping work for 15 years, Panda tests her taste buds by doing the ol' orange...
-
E087 - Slap Your Chicken Episode
The most important question we have to ask ourselves - Is Panda's no taste and smell strong enough to withstand a chicken cooked by a robotic slapping machine? Our podcast isn't just about the science of slapping chickens this week; we also talk about DMX and Prince Philip, agonize over Eivor's...
-
E086 - Peep Into the Bigfoot Family War Room Episode
We review Bigfoot Family: the most controversial, dangerous movie ever to grace our Albertan television screens. Never before have we witnessed anything so…. Wait, is that a jive-talking raccoon?? Even more perplexing than magical Bigfoot offspring, is marshmallow-flavoured Pepsi. What is this...
-
E085 - The Capo-no-you-d'int Episode
Thanks (?) to our knack for reviewing bad movies, we were asked to review "CAPONE"… and boy, was it ever… a thing... that we did. Sort of. The Alberta War Room attacks an animated film for children, we praise two gentlemen in Fukushima who care for pets left behind, and we have a new sock jingle!...
-
E084 - The Seven Footer Episode
We're recording at Kensington Studio this weekend but we can't seem to escape the snowblowers outside. We think they're stalking us. Send help. Or…. less snow. Filming commercials in the time of Covid, sharks with feet are keeping Australia on their toes, Netflix has some hits and misses when it...
-
E083 - The Covid Exploded Episode
We're back after 4 weeks off - but THE SHOW MUST GO ON - albeit a little short of breath, but un-isolated this time, and just in time to completely ignore Valentines Day. We discuss how Panda's Covid prognosis quickly went downhill, plus Gorilla Glue hairdos and toothpaste mohawks, how to escape...
-
E082 - Real Life Covid Episode
This week we go remote because Dropbear and Panda have been separated by COVID-19. Yep. Poor Panda caught 'The Vid' at her work in Health Services and is finding the positives in her positive; Dropbear has been living in isolated exile to ensure it doesn't spread. So this week we're doing the...
-
E081 - The Review Preview Episode
We do our best to do a quick review of 2020 without going completely insane - is THAT what gave Panda a headache? Or was it all the cookies she ate during quarantine? At least we isolated, unlike… Canadian politicians. What will 2021 bring? Aliens, probably. Do these aliens have feet? Do they…
more -
E080 - The Feetometre Spider Episode
It's our last episode before Christmas so we have to mention Christmas at least once or twice - in between stories of Cocaine Ghost Ships and Space Force Guardians! We re-examine our favourite music videos and delve into the best and worst holiday movies we've seen; and we really 'SockRocket' it…

-
E078 - Eat Your Face Episode
Episode 78 is a weird one. Soylent Green might actually become a thing—Grow-A-Steak is coming your way—to cannibalise, or not to cannibalise, AMIRITE? Panda wants to learn what her cat is really saying with Meow Talk, we review Truth Seekers, and Rob Mitchelson blows us away with a Sock Rocket...
-
E077 - New World Order Episode
Nothing is stopping us this week—Biden is in, Shaw Internet is out, and Tesla is…a tequila? Dying Tieflings, dirty Rogue Wood Elves, and skateboard credenzas are also the list of topics today. We save the world with pay-it-forward music lessons, Remembrance Day, and we've paired up with Sock…

E071 - Clean Yes Germ No Episode
We've moved to our studio in cSpace and doing our best to ride out the apocalypse the best way we know how - by talking about Hubble space news, reviewing terrible movies, and reminding people not to snort lines of ajax. The world is a pretty messed up place and we're all doing the best we can....
-
E070 - The 100 Percent Virus Free Episode
We're as tired of Covid-19 news as you are so we went to great lengths to keep this episode 100% Virus Free—it even has Atomic Whale Sharks and space travel and puns. We review Easter, a great new board game, The Tiger King, Schitt's Creek, and celebrate how our friends and listeners are saving…

more -
E066 - The Banging Season Episode

E065 - DR DONT-EVEN-A-LITTLE EPISODE

E058 - You Know What's Spooky Episode
It's one of our favourite times of year! No, not post-election season (although that's really great too); it's Hallowe'en! So we reached out to our listeners and asked what really freaks them out. We weren't disappointed. Terrifying elections, campy horror movies, blobs, nude jawas, and more. We...

E057 - The Almost Holiday-Free Holiday Episode
