Hey Brew

We're back in lockdown here in Melbourne, but that didn't stop us before! We try to settle back into the rhythm of recording across the internet, and Elliot's brought the not-at-all-unsettling topic of the uncanny valley to distract us from the state of the world. Come and get weird with us!

As the name of the beer might suggest, today it's all about acid! To be more specific, it's the LSD kind of acid, its discovery, some of its more interesting history, and some truly bizarre stuff along the way.

It was always leading to this. We finally get around to the ultimate tale of people getting into precarious situations in the great outdoors, with Elliot taking us on an abridged tour of the journey of the Donner Party. Maybe next time we'll try and do something a little lighter...

We swear it's not intentional, but Mike's back this time with another story of folks having a tough time in the wilderness. This time, it's a school group from England and a treacherous hike in Germany, way back in 1936.

It's Easter, so we did something a little special with the beer. Something very indulgent. Speaking of indulgence, Elliot is here this week to tell the tale of the Playboy magazine. Y'know, because of the bunnies? These are getting harder to write.

Computers break in some pretty surprising and interesting ways. This episode, Mike takes us through a couple of rather high-profile examples that were someone's fault: Y2K and the upcoming (and similar) Year 2038 problem. Don't freak out though, neither of them are as bad as they seem.

Australia is known for being full of creatures that'll kill you in any number of different ways, but this time Elliot is just focusing on one of those: the venomous ones. Warning: this may make you not want to get back in the ocean any time soon.

We've got just enough knowledge about things like the stock market and the economy to get you close enough to understanding what's going on with this whole Gamestop stock situation over the last few weeks, so we're going to try! It's Hey Brew at its most topical, and as a result, its most likely to get things at least a little bit wrong. It's at least entertaining!

Some days, I want to be more than just a man. Thankfully, this week Elliot is going to cover some of humanity's previous attempts to create just that, or rather, super soldiers.

The property market is busted, basically everywhere. What if, instead of fighting over the same boxes to live in, we lived in holes instead? Well, today we explore that very topic. We're taking a look at earthscrapers - something that will sound like science fiction, but is in reality a rather old idea with a number of surprising benefits.
