Hyperfixation Time

Ep. 29 - They were only supposed to be gone for three days...It’s been decades.In this episode, Danny takes us into the wild, emotional, and occasionally bizarre story of the dogs of Chernobyl, from abandoned pets to fully adapted survivors. We’ll talk about how they’ve managed to live in the exclusion zone, the humans who still look after them, and the moment the internet collectively panicked over a pack of mysteriously blue dogs.Sad? Yes. Fascinating? Also yes.*Trigger warning - this episode includes talks of animal death. Please listen with care* **FOLLOW US!

Ep. 28 - Cadaver dogs might sound spooky at first, but there’s so much more than meets the nose. In this episode of Hyperfixation Time, Erin and Danny dig into the fascinating world of these highly trained pups. From the science behind their incredible sense of smell and the history of their training to surprising fun facts and real-life stories, we explore how cadaver dogs bring closure to families, help law enforcement, and even contribute to public safety. What seems morbid on the surface is actually a story of bravery, compassion, and teamwork, showing that sometimes the most unusual topics can have the most positive impact.**FOLLOW US!

Episode 27 - In this episode of Hyperfixation Time, Danny surprises Erin and brings in our friend Amy, who takes us on a deep dive into the rich, expressive world of American Sign Language (ASL).**Before we begin, we want to be clear: we are not Deaf or hard of hearing, and we’re not experts. This episode comes from a place of curiosity, respect, and a desire to learn, not to speak over the Deaf community or present ourselves as authorities.With that in mind, Amy guides us through the history of ASL, how its grammar and structure differ from spoken English, and the nuances that make it a fully realized language (not just “English with hand motions,” as we quickly learn). We also explore etiquette, common misconceptions, and some of the ongoing conversations and controversies within and around the Deaf community.Think of this episode as three friends sitting at the edge of something vast and important, asking questions, getting things wrong occasionally, and trying to understand better as we go.**FOLLOW US!

Episode 26: Ben PlattWhat does it take to become the voice of a generation — and then have everyone turn around and argue about it? This week, Erin's hyperfixation is Ben Platt: a kid who grew up performing, became a Broadway legend before 25, and made the world cry every single night as Evan Hansen. We're getting into his full history, his impact on musical theater, the controversies that followed one of his most iconic roles, and what he's got coming next. Danny had no idea this was coming, and honestly? Neither did we. Pull up a seat, we're Waving Through a Window, because this one's got range — just like Ben.*Trigger Warning* - This episode discusses suicide. Please listen with care. **FOLLOW US!

Episode 24 - Are Love Languages a breakthrough, or just astrology for people in relationships? This week on Hyperfixation Time, we dig into what this wildly popular framework gets right, what it oversimplifies, and how it shows up in our real lives. From acts of service to words of affirmation, we talk about how we try to love, how we want to be loved, and why those two things don’t always line up.**FOLLOW US!

Episode 23 - This week, Danny takes us inside her favorite band, AJR. We dive into their history, their unmistakable sound, their ties to theater, and what makes them such ridiculously lovable human beings. From big feelings to bigger hooks, philanthropism to the importance of a trappers' hat, this episode is all about why AJR’s music hits so hard and sticks around in your brain.

Episode 22: What if simply standing up felt like sprinting a mile?In this episode of our POTScast...(get it?), we have our first guest presenter! Erin invited her sister, Dr. Katie who is an expert in POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) to unpack a condition that turns everyday movements into full-body events. We explore what POTS actually is, how it affects the nervous system, why it’s often misunderstood or misdiagnosed, and what daily life looks like for people living in dysregulated bodies that don’t follow the rules.This isn’t a medical lecture. It’s a human story about invisible illness, resilience without romanticizing suffering, and what it means to live in a body that operates on a different operating system.We talk symptoms, neuroscience, stigma, coping tools, impacts, and the quiet strength of navigating a world that expects you to function like nothing’s wrong.Because sometimes survival looks like sitting down.And sometimes bravery looks like standing up anyway.**FOLLOW US!

Episode 20 - Pop punk didn’t just soundtrack the 2000s, it rewired an entire generation. From Warped Tour parking lots to MySpace top eights, this era turned power chords, emotional chaos, and eyeliner into a cultural movement. Some of us may still be missing that era and continuing to try and bring out the 15 year old "goth" or "emo" side of them... (*spoiler - both Danny and Erin still are.)In this episode of Hyperfixation Time, we dive into how pop punk exploded from scrappy punk roots into a chart-topping, Hot Topic dominating force. We’re talking Death Cab for Cutie, Blink 182, My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, Paramore, Panic! at the Disco, All Time Low, and all the beautifully dramatic feelings they made socially acceptable to scream in public.We unpack why these songs hit so hard, how the scene became an identity instead of just a genre, and what led to its slow fade from the mainstream in the 2010s. If you ever posted cryptic song lyrics as a Facebook status, owned at least one studded belt, or still get chills when the guitar kicks in on your favorite emo anthem, this one’s for you.Plug in.

Episode 17 - Sorry all! Our video didn't work for this episode buttttttttt..... Not all holiday traditions are warm and fuzzy. Of course we had to do a spooky-yet-festive topic. In this episode, Danny teaches us about stepping into the dark folklore of Krampus, the horned figure who punishes instead of rewards. Rooted in Alpine legend and winter fear, Krampus blurs the line between moral lesson and monster. We explore where he came from, his relation to St. Nick ;) and what he is all about, generally.**Also we will release a historical video of the two of us that will either be cute or really cringe or maybe both, if we reach 500 followers on one platform.

Episode 16 - This week on Hyperfixation Time, we’re climbing into the treetops to meet the binturong, also known as the bearcat (and no, it’s neither). From its prehensile tail and slow, arboreal lifestyle to the baffling reason it smells like buttered popcorn, we break down what makes this elusive mammal so strange and fascinating. We also explore the folklore and cultural superstitions surrounding the binturong, tracing how it’s been misunderstood, mythologized, and quietly iconic across Southeast Asia. Oh and also, we're switching things up with this episode a little, because we are IN PERSON!

Episode 13 - This week, Danny hyperfixates on Whittier, Alaska — the tiny coastal town you can only reach through a one-lane tunnel that literally closes at night. Oh, and almost every resident lives together under one roof. Yes, really. (Erin’s even been there!)We dive into how Whittier ended up this way, question what daily life looks like when your school, grocery store, and neighbors are all just down the hall, and the vibes of a place that’s equal parts cozy, isolated, and wonderfully weird.

Episode 12 - Why do our knuckles crack? What’s that noise? And are we secretly destroying our hands every time we do it — or is that just something our elders told us to make us stop?In this episode, we dive deep into the surprisingly controversial world of joint cracking. We’re breaking down what’s actually happening inside your body when you pop your knuckles, spine, or knees, whether it’s bad for you (spoiler: probably not), and why some people find the sound weirdly satisfying… while others want to crawl out of their skin.

Episode 10 - This week on Hyperfixation Time, we’re diving headfirst into the world of the Enneagram - that mysterious nine-point system that claims to explain why we do what we do. You’ve probably seen people proudly declaring they’re a Type 2 or a “4 wing 3” like it’s their Hogwarts house… but what does any of it actually mean?The Enneagram isn’t just another personality quiz — it’s a mirror. This week, Erin breaks down the nine different personality types, where the theory even came from, and how a centuries-old idea somehow became the internet’s favorite self-awareness tool. Of course, Danny also has to take the test. Will we get the same results, once again? Maybe our wings will differentiate us a little more?

Known as the “Second Salem,” Whitewater has long been surrounded by eerie legends of witchcraft, haunted cemeteries, and a tentacled-lake monster?
