The Music In Everything

Turns out wine means different things to different folk in different times and places - but it all leads to the same place. Chit chat!

To celebrate our 50th episode(!!!) we're getting quite literally stuck into a big old pack of Aussie bikkies while learning a little about their history. Enjoy the sugar high and thank you for listening!

Season 3 comes to an explosive close with another fun year in review! Presenting the year 1917... with only one caveat: DON'T MENTION THE WAR

Cooking! In the penultimate episode of season 3, the Sams take Jim on yet another journey through time and space to learn everything we can about that thing that unites all of us: Making The Delicious Thing More Delicious.

The urge to scale things starts EARLY and sometimes NEVER DIES. Let's climb!

Both Samantha and Jim are heavily tattooed individuals and were SO ready to unload their passion on this awesome concept, bolstered by Samuel, having done the *actual research*. Have fun!

Insane. Animation is insane. How did we get here? Find out with Jim and the Sams!

In this episode we learn that plants are good for you and that ancient China had the best names for literally everything. Have fun!

In one of our favourite episodes of the podcast to date, we blindly stumble into the tumultuous and impactful randomly selected year that is 1791!

It's a genre we've honestly avoided for our own protection for our entire lives, but here we are finding out everything there is to know - and there is a LOT - about this amazing genre of fiction!

Tea: It's lovely, but why? Join us for another Dear-To-Our-Hearts topic with exuberant Sams and an exhausted post-tour Jim.

Three quick facts: The ocean is huge, the Hadal Zone is the most metal of zones, and the Dalek plunger is moist. We're sorry, enjoy!

We go WAY further back with our loveable fuzzy buds than we thought! Did we find the best of boys or did the best of boys find us? Let's get into it with Jim and the Sams!

Welcome to season 3! After starting our journey with our pilot episode on play 2 years ago, we're diving into another unreasonably broad but related concept: Childhood! First up: what the hell *is* a child?

After a big year finding the joy in things, Jim, Sam, and Sam wrap up season 2 in an episode about space stories! Come with us on a journey through time and space for a topic near and dear to our lives, and we'll see you in the new year!

It finally happened: we broke Jim! He's broken now. We've had close calls before but we finally did it, covering the wonder, the majesty, the existential crisis-inducing mammoth that is SPACE!

Film! Cinema! Movies! Censorship! Communism! ... Rats! How did we get here and what the hell are we talking about?

Into the dark history and ultimately wholesome world of Zookeeping! From the worst of us to the best of our conservation efforts, zoos have been a journey of growth for us as a species. Enjoy!

We're back! Jim and Dale have returned from tour for a topic that's been a long time coming: CHILLIES! We love a little spice, but it turns out we knew nothing about these delightful little home explosives. Enjoy!

Breaking our brief hiatus to share some bonus content with you all: a minisode feat. Jim covering even more Dinosaur fun! Our Patreon subscribers have access to this bonus content every fortnight - patreon.com/TMIEPodcast to join the fun

By request from our community on Discord, Jim and the Sams covered our own home city of Brisbane! There's so much history here - a lot of it not super great - but the growth of this place has been a wondrous thing to witness. Enjoy!

Everyone loves dinosaurs! But why? What is it about these improbable beasts that captures human imagination? Jim and the Sams get derailed about 1000 times on their road to dinosaur truths. Enjoy!

Turns out salvage means a whole lot more than we originally thought, and we can all use it to improve our lives and leave a more positive impact on the planet. This one was eye-opening!

Time to enter the entire universe of passion surrounding the noble car and all of its motor vehicle cousins. It's a subject with a dark history and definitely with some room for improvement, but cars are at the core of modern life. Enjoy!

This fascinating topic has a history far longer and deeper than any of us expected, and it absolutely broke Jim's little brain.

After many episodes celebrating the world of different types of alcohol, it was about time we tackled its nemesis: Sobriety! By surprise, this one took us on a journey of self-reflection when it comes to the world and the cultures that surround us.

Hitting the sauce right in the history while sipping away and giving our own bizarre tasting notes! Whiskey is one of our favourite beverages of all time, so this one was an absolute hoot.

Taking a good long look at the journey of human unions across cultures all around the world, from way back when right up to today!

Camping is actually a pastime that all three of us enjoy, but it was awesome to find out more of its history and variety! Camping rules!

We had no idea what to expect going into this one, but it turns out yeast is VERY IMPORTANT INDEED. Enjoy!

Here's a little taste of a Sams-only minisode! These will be exclusive to our Patreon subscribers going forward. Listen as they dive even deeper into Music! 

Video gaming is already a passion of ours, but the history and innovation of the journey video games have taken to get here absolutely blew our minds!

There are MANY types of diving and we dive into them all. Huge respect to all our adrenaline junkies and the peace they find in danger!

We're back! Kicking off season 2 with a long-awaited topic: MUSIC!

A very special bonus episode for the holiday season on a topic very close to all of our gullets, the wonders of that magical beverage... Beer! 

We lovingly look back and say farewell to season 1 with a special audience livestreamed to our Discord! Enjoy the fun, see you next year for season 2!

This episode we don our favorite team shirts and delve into the very roots of this distinctly American sport with distinctly non-American origins. Let's play a round of Battenball with the Force of the Mage King Magnus! (It makes sense, just listen)

Where would we be without the genius innovation of plumbing? What would you name your shared rectal sea sponge? How many diseases have we cured by accident? [PS This was recorded before the death of Queen Elizabeth II, and Jim stands by everything he said]

We've wanted to cover TTRPGs ever since we started this thing - it's finally time! How did D&D come to be? What is the joy of fantasy world roleplay? What alignment is Vin Diesel? Let's find out!

Jim breaks down immediately as Samantha breaks down numbers and mathematics... before Samuel drops the hammer of the history of numbers. This is insane.

Today we explore one of our favourite things in this universe, COFFEE! What is its history, what does it do, and how does it do it? Also, have we drunk far too much of it today? Yes. Yes we have. Enjoy!

Maps are awesome! Let's lay out the tablecloth of the world and see if it doesn't remind us of a mammoth tusk.

We had so much more to cover after our first Australiana episode that we couldn't help but come back and explain ourselves EVEN FURTHER. Enjoy the insane timeline of indigenous culture and a voting system that became the envy of the world!

Discover the distant origins of sewing (and why witches weren't involved) in an episode full of mind-blowing facts that should definitely be common knowledge but definitely aren't!

Who's right about the potato scallop or potato cake? Is it a Longneck or a Tallie? It might just depend on where you're standing. In this episode we engage in the hilarious and time-honoured tradition of Australians desperately attempting to explain Australia's idiosyncrasies to non-Australians!

Time to fix mistakes/dig into the juicy bits we missed along the way! Thanks to all of you for your suggestions and corrections since the podcast kicked off - we hope this episode answers some of those burning questions, and we can't wait to cover the topics you've suggested. Enjoy!
