Campfire Tales — Or Aesop’s Fables… Or Something
We tell campfire stories…Twaddling Along Style. What does that mean? Well, we ramble on for far too long, make up convoluted stories, have to edit out large blocks of video, and in general just twaddle about for an hour. Hooray for us. Also, Aesop ain’t got anything on our fables.

Shadow People — Hags, Genies, and Out of Fashion Hats
You wake up and find yourself trapped in your own body. The room is quite, but you have the unsettling feeling that you may not be alone.

The 1893 World’s Fair — Ferris Wheel, Serial Killers, and ‘Merica
Once upon a time, in a land much like our own, people came together and created something great, marvelous, and epic.

Today we’re talking about the 1893 World’s Fair in Chicago, and it’s a fun one. Cracker Jack, Aunt Jemima, refrigeration, serial killers, political assassination… my goodness, could we ask for more?

Giants — We’re Back and Bigger Than Ever
No…You are not dreaming. We are back after a whirlwind of a vacation down in Florida. Do we talk about the record crowds, the arctic winds, the disease and suffering we went through? Maybe for like a minute. But for the rest of the time we ignore our own story and focus completely on the worldwide myth of giants. Are they fallen angels? Are they just mutants of nature? Can Josh find a way to say poop a dozen times. Find out on today’s Twaddling Along Podcast.

Queen Victoria — Do You Have Prince Albert in a Can?
Today on the Twaddling Along podcast, we dive into the life of Her Majesty, Queen Victoria. This enigmatic ruler, whose name remains one of Britain’s most beloved, certainly had a colorful past.

Aliens — UFOS, UAPS, USPS, and the Queen
Are we alone in the Universe? Are we a reflection of the greater cosmos?

Bigfoot Part 1 — Jake Uses Really Big Words
There are subjects, and then there are SUBJECTS. This week on the Twaddling Along Podcast, we tackle an oft-recommended topic: the majestic and tremendous trotters of Bigfoot. We presumptuously call this Part 1, wholly due to the fact that such a huge subject matter deserves more than one part. Also, because Jake opened a thesaurus and has more big words he’d like to try. Tune in as we wade into this huge (dare I say Yeti-sized) topic.

Reality Television — Toddlers, Ducks, Fake Tans and…the Third Reich?
"Twaddle" is defined as foolish, trivial, or idle talk. We thought we understood the term ( I mean, look at our name), but it pales in comparison to the bleak and macabre universe of reality television. Join the boys as they explore the genre, from its unexpected historical roots in Nazi Germany, to its modern, ever-changing commentary (or lack thereof) on our culture. After all, when it comes to "twaddling along," does anything do it better than reality TV? Yes. We do. Take that, Jeff Probst.
