And so... we've come to the end, dear friends. The final curtain call. The buying of the farm. But while the pod is kicking the bucket, in this series finale, terminally-ill comedian Kirsten Michelle Cills and death doula Laura Lyster-Mensh leave us with some wisdom that will live on in our hearts forever... or at least until we're all worm food, too.

Sure, with The End being so Nigh, you could stock up on Twinkies. Especially considering how much hype they've gotten over the years for their ability to last through a nuclear holocaust! Or you could consisder sustaining yourself with something with an even longer shelf life: more from author Tea Krulos.

No matter how prepared you are, you've still got to be pretty lucky to make it through most world-ending scenarios. Or unlucky, depending on how you look at it. Author Tea Krulos doesn't think he'd last long. But after writing a book about doomsday preppers, he thinks it might not be such a bad thing to get wiped out right away.

In the summer of 2020, why were certain lifestyle influencers pivoting to posts about pedos, cabals and evil vaccines? Grab your red string and follow along with host Cristen Conger into the female-dominated landscape of "conspirituality” where wellness and woo-woo get extra delulu. Researcher, journalist and QAnon Anonymous UK correspondent Annie Kelly also unravels anti-vax moms’ medical mistrust, the red-pilled origins of tradwives and why conspiracy theorizing is fangirl behavior.

If you feel like maybe someone or something sinister is out to get you, tracking your every move and manipulating the circumstances of your life, let tell you that you... are... wrong! There's no secret conspiracy to keep you down, there are just a lot of things about humanity and our world that coincidentally suck. But as we learned from talking more with feminist conspiracy theory podcaster Cristen Conger, nothing will ever stop us from fantasizing about a darker, more narratively pleasing truth lurking just below the surface.

Sometimes you need to touch grass and remember that there are no lizard people secretly ruling our world. Other times, shadowy government agents really are out to get you. And still other times, you're like feminist historian Cristen Conger and you start to wonder why women are so often left out of the conspiracy conversation.

Can you feel it? There's that charged energy in the air that you can almost taste right around when we're starting to get to everyone's favorite time of year. It's almost Election Day! ...Okay, maybe it's every couple of years. ...And maybe it's a massive overreach to say people like it, like, at all. But at least we got you a special gift of more insights from political commentator Ben Sheehan

They say 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it.' But what do you do with something that's as fundamentally f*cked up and dysfunctional as, say, our current political system? Digital creator Ben Sheehan argues that we give it a facelift and remember why we fell in love with this country in the first place.

There's no business like show business... at least in terms of it kicking the people who make the stuff when they're down. But comedian Ashley Ray and seasoned creator Alex Keledjian still manage to get back up again, even as the corporate overlords reach for a pair of steel-toed boots.

We know we can't see you right now, but oh my god, we love our outfit! We don't even need to know what you look like to know that you are serving cunt. Because anyone who listens to Indecent is a baddie. And what's more, you're obvi someone who just has to know even more about the literally toxic qualities of the fashion industry from author and journalist Dana Thomas.

Fashion moves fast. But like, damn... we didn't know it was blasting through the sound barrier lately. Not just in terms of changing taste, but also with the speed at which the industry cranks out cheap, crappy clothes. So we had to do a little cleaning out of the closets with fashion journalist Dana Thomas.

Directed by Art Manke and designed by Lindsay Jones, Amy Freed’s translation of “The Taming of the Shrew” pits the two smartest people in the room against each other in a match of wits to tame the society that surrounds them. Set in Renaissance Italy with a cast of seasoned pros including Allen Gilmore, Susannah Rogers, Danny Scheie, Annie Abrams, Mike McShane, Rob Nagle, Tessa Auberjonois, Kasey Mahaffy, Kyle Hester, Tom Patterson and J.Paul Boehmer.

It's hard to keep your chin up with the world constantly drone-stiking you directly in the face with bad news. But anti-imperialist TikTok star James Rehwald's revolutionary optimism is so damn infectious, we needed an extra helping to get us through all the doom and gloom.

Long ago, OG protest-folk singer Woody Guthrie pasted the slogan "This Machine Kills Fascists" on his guitar to show the world he wasn't playing around. And nearly 80 years later, leftist content creator James Rehwald keeps that spirit alive by infusing sketch comedy with revolutionary optimism to remind everyone the future belongs to us, not the right-wing capitalist overlords.

Start flexing those pelvic floor muscles! We're feeling a big contraction coming on, which means it's time to bring this bonus content with comedian Margaret Cho talking more about being childless-by-choice into the world.

It's the mother of all special Mother's Day episodes, with legendary comedian Margaret Cho showing up to remind that, sure you can have kids. Or you can just enjoy your free time, disposable income, sleep, emotional reserves, hairline and physique.

You better suck it up, wake up four hours earlier every day, and find a get-rich-quick scheme that you're not too late to hop on the bandwagon of, you weak-willed, limp-wristed little soy-slurping, beta babies. Because journalist Megan Carnegie has even more brain breaking alpha bullshit to bring you.

If you're not into making money, banging chicks, possibly doing steroids or shaving your head bald to optimize the time you would be using to comb your hair in the morning, then this podcast is NOT for you!!!... Jk, journalist Megan Carnegie has a lot to say about grindset hustle culture that everyone should hear.

Without us guiding you through the weird, scary, confusing and occasionally sticky corners of our universe, where would you be? So before your consciousness comes apart at the seams and you go spiraling off into the astral plane, here's a little more from physicist and author Alexander Boxer.

Now that you're done staring directly into the solar eclipse, it's time for your to process the infinite cosmic wisdom you've absorbed along with your severely burned retinas. Luckily data scientist Dr. Alexander Boxer is here to talk about why people have a hard time accepting their horoscopes.

They say: "Never let 'em know your next move." So instead of your normal bonus content, this week we've got our old friend from season one, tech journalist Samantha Cole, springing back into action to talk about her brand new, four-part series from CBC Podcasts called "The Pornhub Empire: Understood," that pulls back the curtain on the scrappy, Montreal-based startup that revolutionized sex online.

The amount of people out there who secretly (or not so secretly) drink their own urine or wear cooch-juice cologne would probably shock you. But no matter what kind of weird stuff people do to their bodies, writer Brigid Delaney wants them to know they're gonna die anyways. So why worry?

It's hard to stay focused on the positive and not lose it as a 21st century human with at least a single working brain cell. So to help you battle the blues, here's a little more from writer Rebecca Fishbein and mental health influencer Therapy Jeff.

Are we all weak little babies who hide behind new age gibberish to avoid confrontation? Or is emotional intelligence our last line of defense in a soul-crushing, post-modern hellworld? Licensed therapist and mental health influencer Jeff Guenther & writer Rebecca Fishbein are here to answer those questions and maybe also talk us down off a ledge
