We recently interviewed Ross from Smootheeze, diving deep into the challenges and triumphs of scaling a sustainable, premium kitchen brand. This conversation reveals the brilliant product strategies and marketing tactics behind the viral smoothie prep system. Ross articulated that the most frequent and frustrating daily barrier for users is the often-messy, time-consuming morning prep itself, beyond just the frozen banana clump. Smootheeze solves this "next" by providing effortless pop-out convenience that removes the friction entirely, making a consistent, healthy morning smoothie routine achievable. The discussion highlights the brand's commitment to its zero-waste, anti-consumption ethos. Ross explained that Lifetime Value (LTV) is sustained not through repeated product purchases, but by building a powerful user-generated recipe ecosystem (UGC). This content strategy keeps the community engaged and locks them into the brand by fostering creative, endless usage. To mitigate the known issue of silicone odor and turmeric stains, Smootheeze focuses heavily on educational contentand specific cleaning protocols to protect the long-term functionality and aesthetic of the trays. Finally, Ross provided strategic insight on the Freezer Real Estate Battle, emphasizing the trays' stackable, space-saving design against bulky frozen meals. Regarding Channel Expansion, the long-term strategy involves leveraging the brand's Kickstarter success to strategically test limited retail expansion while doubling down on DTC/Amazon to maintain critical control over the brand story and community connection.

Our tour of DC's Absolute Universe continues with Absolute Superman Vol. 1: Last Dust of Krypton by Jason Aaron and Rafa SandovalBut first, who can we blame for one of our least favorite interviews? Is Rodney Barnes returning to the podcast? Why does Rodney like Cody so much? Is Anthony blowing up in the comic book world? How would we rank the first 3 Absolute series? Is this a fresh take on Superman? How was Superman's lore changed for this series? Is Clark Kent not an element in this story? Is this Superman anti-AI? Does a big part of this volume take place on Krypton? Is this a Superman for the working class people? Does this section of the Absolute universe reflect our own world more than the others? Are the Peacemakers equivalent to ICE? Could new readers easily jump into the Absolute Universe? How does it also appeal to legacy readers? How do Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen compare to their original versions? What role does Ras al Ghul play in this comic? Should villains for one hero cross over to other heroes? Who is Absolute Lieutenant Dan? Does the Absolute Univefsr feel cyberpunk? Who is Omega Prime? What Absolute series that hasn't been announced yet would we like to see? What is Absolute Evil? What is Captain Cold's eyewear possibly made out of? What makes Absolute Gorilla Grodd so different? What's going on in Absolute Green Lantern by Al Ewing? Do we need to do more Earth One episodes? Why is Marvel already ending the Ultimate Universe? Are we torn between Marvel and DC? Have we covered Batman more than anything else on the pod?

Our hosts return to the podcave and sit down to review the episode that flaunts itself all over town, Joker's Millions. Alex and Will discuss the many redesigned characters that appear in this episode, including The Joker, Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy, and The Penguin. Then they shift their attention to the storyline and discuss it's more comical and silly side. Such as Joker committing crimes only for the money, or the fact that he's living in an apartment that would make even Harvey Bullock feel dirty to step foot in. Our hosts also notice that Nightwing goes on a "just friends" date with Barbara to the Iceberg Lounge, Batman discovers a new way to interrogate thugs, and Joker gets imprisoned for tax evasion and meets a new character named D-Pop (don't ask what the D stands for).

How do you lead a team that kills thousands of ideas - and still keep everyone excited to create again the next day? That’s business as usual for Elan Lee, co-creator and now CEO of Exploding Kittens. You might not know his name, but there’s a good chance you’ve played one of his games. Exploding Kittens became one of the most backed Kickstarter campaigns in history - raising nearly $9 million from over 200,000 backers in just 30 days - and has since sold more than 60 million games worldwide. In this episode, Elan and I dive into how he’s built a creative culture that thrives on iteration and honesty. He shares the psychology behind turning casual players into superfans, why creative constraints beat blue-sky brainstorming every time, and how his team’s “no, kill it” rule turned chaos into innovation. Elan and I discuss: How Exploding Kittens became one of Kickstarter’s biggest success stories The psychology behind turning casual players into superfans Why creative constraints spark better ideas than “blue-sky” brainstorming How Elan runs design retreats that generate thousands of ideas in days The “no, kill it” rule that keeps creativity high and egos low Balancing creativity with commercial success - knowing when to walk away How a single question - “Do you want to play again?” - determines when a game is done KEY QUOTES “Games shouldn’t be entertaining - they should make the people playing them entertaining.” “Every great idea starts out terrible. You just have to give it room to evolve.” “We don’t use ‘yes, and…’. We use ‘no, kill it,’ because we know we can generate a thousand more ideas.” Explore Elan’s games at explodingkittens.com and connect with him on Instagram, X (Twitter), and LinkedIn.

Join us for an engaging exploration of art and tarot with our guest, David, of Whiskey Terra Foxtrot. David offers insights into his creative process as he works on designing a hand-drawn Kickstarter tarot deck. “The Liminal Deck is a traditional 78-card tarot deck with a non-traditional construction. De-gendered and de-saturated, drawing on vaguely unsettling, yet familiar imagery to recreate quiet contradictions of the dreamscape, it's the deck unlike any other.” Listen in as we explore the intersection of art, creativity, and spirituality, discussing the significance of animals like foxes and crows in artwork and their symbolism in tarot. Our conversation highlights the importance of flexible interpretations in tarot reading, akin to cooking without rigidly following a recipe. We also share reflections on personal backgrounds and experiences with tarot, emphasizing the value of adding personal interpretations to traditional meanings. Through anecdotes and reflections, we illustrate how creativity and logic blend within the realm of spirituality.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/pnw-haunts-homicides--5955451/support.

Solar and wind are now the cheapest power sources in history. But too many politicians would rather protect billionaires than help working families save on their bills. Real change starts when we stop allowing the ultra-rich to write our energy policy and run our government. Let's choose affordable, renewable power. Clean energy means lower costs, more freedom, and a planet that can actually breathe. Join the Pub and Sing Along at www.pubsong.com! #pubstories

Send us a textHey, hey! You made it to the end of our special ABCs of AI series.In this final episode of the ABCs of AI, we land on the letter Z for Zero-Shot Learning, a fancy AI term that we break down so it makes sense for kids and their grown ups. We talk about how AI can make smart guesses about things it has never “seen” before, why that can be powerful, and why it can also be risky if the data behind it is biased or unfair.Kids will hear a clear reminder that they are the real thinkers in the room and that AI still needs humans in the loop to check, correct, and question what it says.You'll also learn a screen free game you can try at home, in class, or after-school:Guess That Thing – a no-tech describing and guessing game that helps kids experience zero shot learning using only clues, imagination, and everyday objects.A fun bonus round with made up creatures like “rainbow sloths” and “flying pancake robots” to stretch those creative muscles.If your family has enjoyed learning the ABCs of AI with us, you do not have to stop here. Our full ABCs of AI Activity Deck is live on Kickstarter, packed with 130 screen free activities that help kids and their grown ups explore real AI concepts through games, stories, challenges, audio, and hands on fun.

The Summer of '83 concussively concludes with a gloriously metal swords and sorcery adventure helmed by the 1st AD of The Beastmaster, and penned by the writer of Vampire Hookers and Rainbow Brite. Deathstalker, our morally messed up but oddly philosophical anti-hero, is sent on a quest by weird witch Toralva to unite the sword of justice, amulet of life, and chalice of magic in order to “become the power” before the evil Lord Munkar does. Join Javi, Paul and, intrepidly, Producer Brad on this wild ride into wanton violence and chaos that features a creepy meat puppet, a chatty cave ogre, random mud wrestling, a cannibalistic pig man, a gladiator tournament, some very problematic shape-shifting, John Wick's worst nightmare cuisine, a truly epic score, and an unexpectedly bold (and timely) anti-autocracy political statement — all of which somehow spawned three sequels and a very fun 2025 remake executive produced by none other than Slash.
