I don’t even know any celebrities! I don’t even have any friends!
This podcast is great. It's unique these days, in that it's not just a celebrity talking to their friends. People write in with a problem, and Alex tries to solve them. But "problems" might be huge and life-changing or tiny and quirky. Very entertaining. I'm a premium member. Give it a listen.

Hi, my name is Alex Goldman -- you may know me as the host of Reply All. These days I am making a longform narrative podcast called @hyperfixedpod.bsky.social . I am making a small thread to ask to consider becoming a premium member of our completely independent show. hyperfixepod.com/join

This show is so delightful. The popcorn episode is actually quite moving, an investigation of the small and loving ways people try to make other people’s experience better. That’s what most episodes are about, actually. Let’s help them afford health insurance!

lastly, I know that not everyone can afford to support the show, but if you believe in what we're doing, the next best way to support is to tell your friends about the show. Download eps for them! Force them to listen on long car rides! Thanks so much for your support.

On our show we take listener problems and try to solve them, regardless of how big or small they are. A recent episode people liked was about why every microwave in the US has a "popcorn" button while every popcorn bag says "DO NOT USE THE POPORN BUTTON www.hyperfixedpod.com/listen/hyper...

Well folks, we did it. We watched Amityville Vibrator for @amityvilleville.bsky.social and it was somehow worse than I imagined it could be and is still nowhere near as bad as the worst thing we’ve watched

I met him cuz he was making webcomics back in the early 00’s and I was working at some fly by night free weekly local magazine in Texas. I asked him to send me some more and he sent me a virus. Lol
My friend Colin occasionally texts me to tell me he uploaded a new game to steam and it’s invariably the most insane thing I’ve ever seen. This one is called Crying Screaming 3: Jeremy’s Enemies

Sometimes I think I'm not that interested in a Hyperfixed episode: how much could there be to say about microwave popcorn? Every time, they have something new and interesting in the story and I'm in a great mood by the end of the ep. Alex and the whole Hyperfixed team are journalists in the best way
Why does every microwave have a “popcorn” button but every popcorn bag says “DONT USE THE POPCORN BUTTON?” We went deeper than I thought possible getting the DEFINITIVE answer. Talked to the popcorn industry, the microwave industry. Even the inventor of popcorn sensing microwave technology.

I was able to give the entire team raises this year thanks to your support! But my goal for next year is to be able to provide health care and potentially stash some money to work on bigger reporting projects. So I’m asking if you can sign up on our site or at iTunes/spotify. Hyperfixedpod.com/join

If you’re looking for some weekend listening, this was, by far, my favorite podcast episode of the week.

Speaking of the team, this story was @emmacourtland.bsky.social and Amor Yates’ baby. Emma especially agonized this story and it shows in the finished product. I feel so lucky to get to work with them
