  • Hitler At the Movies!
    Apr 15 2025

    Did you know that Hitler has an IMDB page? It's true and also really weird! Join us this week as we explore the long tail of Hitler's impact on the silver screen. What was Hitler's favorite movie? How did his interest in one actress help create the first Schindler type who saved dozens of Jews from execution? How distant is Hitler really from those of us watching everyday blockbuster movies now?

    This is our season 1 finale y'all! Thanks so much for listening to the first season of this experiment and we look forward to bringing more unusual connections through history, culture, and apparently cinema in season 2 coming soon!

  • The Secret History of the Internet- Al Gore, Anime, and the French
    Apr 1 2025

    On this very special seasonal episode we are digging into the unrelated tales that make up the internet as we know it. We'll be answering questions no one has ever asked while sober such as:


    What is the internet anyway? How does it work? Does it have to work this way or are there alternatives? What is, and always has been, the most popular thing on all the different forms of the internet regardless of time, place, language, or really any factors?


    That's right we'll be globetrotting all episode long to hunt out the secret, alternative, histories of inter-network connectivity on this extra special episode of Seemingly Unrelated.
