Podcasts about washing machines

Ocean Conservancy's "Not Safe for Wash" campaign is built around a simple premise: the fix for washing machine microfiber pollution already exists, so the fight isn't about inventing new technology, it's about forcing a nearly two-decade-old idea into law. Its own May 2026 poll of 1,010 Americans found concern about microplastics up 32% since 2023, nearly 9 in 10 people concerned, and 81% in favor of requiring filters on new washing machines. The public isn't the obstacle. The real opponent is AHAM, the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers, the trade group representing the companies that build the machines. AHAM's case rests on its own testing with NSF International, which found filters capture only about 25% of shed microfibers, a number it uses to argue the whole mandate is premature and expensive. Ocean Conservancy claims up to 90%. Andrew lays both numbers next to a stack of independent studies that fall outside either organization's own interest: an external filter capturing 87% on average, PlanetCare's claimed 98%, a Guppyfriend bag's 79-86%, and Connecticut's own government review putting existing filters at 80-89%. Ocean Conservancy's number holds up a lot better than AHAM's once independent testing enters the picture, though AHAM's other objections, a 13-year payback period on the filter's own embedded plastic, clogging and flooding risk, and a real burden on people with disabilities, deserve a fair hearing too. From there, Andrew runs the actual legislative scoreboard: California passed a filter bill in 2023 and Governor Newsom vetoed it over cost, even though Ocean Conservancy's own economic analysis puts a built-in filter at just $14 to $20 per machine. France's law remains unenforced. New York's bill has passed the Assembly and sits in a Senate committee. Illinois has companion bills moving in both chambers. Oregon's died in committee. New Jersey and Pennsylvania have bills in progress. A federal bill, the Fighting Fibers Act, is on its second attempt after an earlier version died in the last Congress. Nobody knows how this ends, but Andrew makes the case that the technology fight is basically settled and the real one is political. Takeaways: Ocean Conservancy's May 2026 poll found 81% of Americans support requiring microfiber filters on new washing machines, and concern about microplastics is up 32% since 2023. The appliance industry's trade group, AHAM, cites its own NSF International testing showing filters capture only about 25% of microfibers, far below Ocean Conservancy's claimed 90%. A stack of independent studies outside both organizations (Lint LUV-R, PlanetCare, Guppyfriend, and Connecticut's own government review) lands much closer to Ocean Conservancy's number than AHAM's. California passed a filter bill in 2023 that Governor Newsom vetoed over cost, despite Ocean Conservancy's own analysis putting the added cost at just $14 to $20 per machine. Five US states currently have active or recently-failed filter bills (New York, Illinois, Oregon, New Jersey, Pennsylvania), and a federal bill, the Fighting Fibers Act, is on its second attempt in Congress. AHAM raises some legitimate concerns worth taking seriously, including a 13-year plastic payback period on the filter itself and a real burden on people with disabilities who'd have to maintain one.

Every wash cycle sheds plastic. Last Monday, Andrew talked with Dr. Anja Brandon of Ocean Conservancy about microfiber pollution, and one question from that conversation stuck with him: has anyone actually fixed this yet? In this solo follow-up, Andrew traces a microfiber's actual path, from the moment agitation, heat, and detergent work it loose from a shirt, through the drain, into a wastewater treatment plant, and out the other side into biosolids, farmland, rivers, and the ocean, with a growing body of research suggesting some of it ends up in human lungs and even in the human placenta. Along the way, Andrew digs into what actually controls how much a load of laundry sheds (full loads shed less per item than half-empty ones, machine type matters, and detergent's role is murkier than expected), what the current health research says about needle-shaped fibers lodging in tissue once they're inhaled or ingested, and why a fix that already exists, a washing machine filter, keeps stalling out politically. France passed the world's first law requiring one, and it still isn't enforced. California tried and got vetoed over a cost of about $14 to $20 per machine. A federal bill is sitting in committee. Andrew also runs through the three consumer-level options available right now: the Cora Ball, a Guppyfriend mesh washing bag, and a PlanetCare retrofit filter, each with a different tradeoff between cost, maintenance, and how much they actually catch. This episode sets up tomorrow's deep dive into Ocean Conservancy's Not Safe for Wash campaign, including the capture-rate dispute between Ocean Conservancy and the appliance manufacturers' trade group that's currently stalling the push for a federal requirement. Takeaways: A single load of synthetic laundry can shed anywhere from a few hundred thousand to millions of microfibers, and agitation is the best-documented cause, though machine type, wash temperature, and detergent all play a role too. A full load of laundry sheds less per item than a half-empty one, because more fabric-on-fabric contact is actually less abrasive than items tumbling loosely with excess water. Fibers that make it past a wastewater treatment plant often end up in biosolids, which get spread on farmland as fertilizer, meaning they're relocated rather than actually removed from the environment. Emerging research has found textile-linked microplastic fibers in human lung tissue and in every human placenta tested in a 2024 study, with inhaled nylon fibers shown to disrupt developing airway cells. A washing machine filter can capture the large majority of shed microfibers for an estimated $14 to $20 added to the cost of a machine, but France's 2025 filter law remains unenforced, California vetoed its own version in 2023, and a federal bill is still in committee. Consumer-level options exist today: a Cora Ball, a Guppyfriend mesh washing bag, or a PlanetCare retrofit filter, each trading off cost, maintenance, and capture rate differently.

Anika and Liz, very much against their better judgement, watch The Puppet Episode. Yes, it's Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' "Level Five Transporter Accident", and we are using words like "I regret having a Star Trek podcast" and "it's a crime against humanity".  Hey, it's not as offensive as "Four and a Half Vulcans" Anika talks about the ancient art of puppetry, commedia dell'arte and Punch and Judy This episode does not understand the point of the "leave one human and the rest of the characters are played by Muppets" meme In fairness, it also does not understand why Muppets are funny The "joke" about Pike's chair This is the third episode of the season where Spock is seeing things Spock: what is wrong with this allegedly grown man  "My girlfriend has been having a hard time and I did not reach out to support her, why did she break up with me?" "So all of that happened for no reason." La'an the reverse Pinocchio (not even the first woman in SNW who aspires to become an object!)

Dr. Luke Beardon is a leading autism researcher, author and senior lecturer at Sheffield Hallam University who has spent more than 30 years working alongside autistic people and their families. In this episode, Luke reveals what autism can actually feel like from the inside, from masking and rehearsing conversations to sensory overwhelm, burnout and the exhaustion of constantly trying to fit in. He explores why so many people go decades without realising they're autistic, what happens when you mask for so long that you lose sight of who you really are, and why the parts of yourself you spent a lifetime hiding may never have needed fixing in the first place.

A few weeks ago, we talked to two sonic branding experts who compose music for household appliances. And we played for them a song “sung” by a washing machine that they didn't really appreciate. But many of our listeners immediately identified the tune, a famous melody by 19th-century composer Franz Schubert. And, as our guest tells us, it's not just any tune—it's one of Schubert's most beloved compositions, “The Trout,” which he returned to several times during his short but prolific career. L. Michael Griffel, a Schubert expert and former head of the music history department at The Julliard School, joins us for our mea culpa to “Die Forelle.” A transcript for this episode will be added to the original segment page: Who's composing music for my washing machine?

Rather than getting consumed by rumors, predictive analysis, or “what if” thinking, this episode challenges leaders to focus on operational readiness, credibility, adaptability, and mission execution. John introduces practical leadership concepts like the “So What? Now What?” mindset and the “Washing Machine” framework: Keep, Stop, Enhance, or Start.

Have you noticed that your newer appliances are serenading you? Many new washing machines, dishwashers, dryers, and vacuums have sonic signatures. But why? And who are the composers making music for the machines in your home? Flora talks to sonic branding experts Audrey Arbeeny, who has developed sounds for washing machines; and Joel Beckerman, who has composed for Roomba.  Guests:  Audrey Arbeeny is the owner and executive producer of Audiobrain. She's composed for Whirlpool, KitchenAid, the London Olympic Games, and Microsoft's Xbox 360.  Joel Beckerman is a composer and founder of Made Music Studio, and author of “The Sonic Boom: How Sound Transforms the Way We Think, Feel, and Buy.” He's composed for the NFL, IMAX, and the Roomba vacuum.  Other episodes you may enjoy: Are Physical Buttons And Knobs Making A Comeback?

Stephen Grootes talks to Sifiso Skenjana, Economist and Managing Director of ESG Analytics about the government's decision to extend fuel levy relief as global oil volatility continues to filter through to the local economy. With the R3 per litre cut already costing the fiscus billions each month, the move raises key questions about how long South Africa can cushion consumers without deepening fiscal pressure. In other interviews, Ayabonga Cawe, Chief Commissioner at ITAC talks about South Africa’s decision to impose anti‑dumping duties on imported Chinese and Thai washing machines, unpacking the findings behind the ruling, its impact on local manufacturers and jobs, and the possible consequences for pricing and choice for South African consumers.

Best Of 2GG: Coffee Pot Washing Machine? by Two Girls and a Guy

The red mic light is stuck on… permanently. So today’s show is being held together with duct tape. It’s Monday Winners & Losers, Things That Make You Go Grrr & we played Baby Boomer movies in Timewasters. Plus, Christian’s glasses actually broke mid show after Patsy had just been celebrating her new ones. All that, and somehow we stayed on air. Duct tape really does fix everything.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What happens when technology grows faster than the rules meant to guide it? We toast the season finale by tackling that question head-on—starting with a bold move to centralize AI regulation at the federal level and preempt state-by-state rules. We lay out what a single national framework could fix, what it could break, and how lobbying from the biggest AI players complicates the path forward. Uniform standards might speed innovation and reduce compliance chaos, but local expertise matters, and trust depends on safeguards that balance industry power with public interest.Then we shift from policy to pavement. Waymo keeps making headlines for the wrong reasons: riders passing out in driverless cars, a recall tied to passing stopped school buses with flashing lights, and a bizarre three-car standoff that jammed a steep San Francisco street for nearly an hour. We unpack what these incidents reveal about human behavior in autonomous systems, the limits of remote intervention, and the public's patience when “driverless” becomes neighborhood gridlock. Safety updates and voluntary recalls are essential, but accountability, transparency, and resilient design are how this technology earns the right to scale.Not everything is caution tape and traffic cones. We spotlight the AirFly Pro 2 from Twelve South, a small Bluetooth transmitter that lets two people share audio from any 3.5 mm jack—perfect for flights, older TVs, and road trips. It's simple, reliable, and exactly the kind of travel tech that quietly improves your day. We also marvel at a $380,000 “human washing machine”—part luxury, part lab experiment—hinting at future wellness and eldercare tech where biometrics and comfort meet. And we raise a glass to a standout Jack Daniel's single barrel heritage barrel release, trading tasting notes on char, sweetness, and that long, confident finish.Along the way we nod to Perl's enduring place in internet history, reminding ourselves that the tools that last aren't always the flashiest—they're the ones that solve real problems again and again. As we wrap season seven, the through-line is clear: when tech outruns law, human behavior fills the void. The best builders anticipate that gap, and the best policy keeps pace without strangling the spark. If that balance excites you as much as it challenges you, you're our kind of listener.Enjoyed the season? Subscribe, share the show with a friend, and leave a review to help others find us.

In this episode, Connery DeHuff co-hosts and dives into some absurd and hilarious stories. The guys discuss bizarre things people have been caught stealing, including a whole stash of beef sticks (which Connery can totally relate to). Then, they shift gears to supermodel Kathy Ireland, who's taking on an unexpected new career—commercial fishing! Next, things get a little wild with the "human washing machine" now available in Japan. While it's a cool innovation, Connery definitely adds his own... interesting twist to the conversation. The sports section heats up as they break down the Denver Broncos' wild win over the Washington Commanders, with Bo Nix showing out. The big question: can the Broncos still make it to the playoffs with a struggling run game? Finally, LeBron James gives major props to Nikola Jokic on his podcast Mind the Game. And the hosts debate whether older drivers should be required to retake their driver's test more frequently. #Podcast #PodcastEpisode #ComedyPodcast #SportsPodcast #FunnyPodcasts #PodcastLife #ConneryDeHuff #KathyIreland #HumanWashingMachine #NikolaJokic #LeBronJames #BoNix #DenverBroncos #WashingtonCommanders #BeefSticks #OlderDriversTest #StupidThingsPeopleSteal #SupermodelTurnedFisherwoman #NFLTalk #SportsNews #DriverSafety #WeirdTech Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Wait, what? Is it time for the podcast again? Seems like only yesterday that Dan joined Elliot for the weekly rundown of the choicest hacks for the last 1/52 of a year. but here we are. We had quite a bit of news to talk about, including the winners of the Component Abuse Challenge -- warning, some components were actually abused for this challenge. They're also a trillion pages deep over at the Internet Archive, a milestone that seems worth celebrating. As for projects, both of us kicked things off with "Right to repair"-adjacent topics, first with a washing machine that gave up its secrets with IR and then with a car that refused to let its owner fix the brakes. We heated things up with a microwave foundry capable of melting cast iron -- watch your toes! -- and looked at a tiny ESP32 dev board with ludicrously small components.  We saw surveyors go to war, watched a Lego sorting machine go through its paces, and learned about radar by spinning up a sonar set from first principles. Finally, we wrapped things up with another Al Williams signature "Can't Miss Articles" section, with his deep dive into the fun hackers can have with the now-deprecated US penny, and his nostalgic look at pneumatic tube systems.
