Welcome to the podcast, where I, Ryan Loyola, take a plunge into the obsessions that captivate each one of us. You know the sort. The fascination that riveted you from the moment that you first learned about them. The one continues to tick at your brain until you can know every shred of information there is to learn about it. Join me as I go off the deep end in investigating the obsessions that continue to allure us, because it’s through our love and our appreciation for the trivial things in life, that we have the most innate voices to be heard and the most compelling stories to tell.
