Here is a look at some of our podcast's most and least popular segments.

DICTIONARY
PLUS
We discuss words and language usage. Sometimes we invent
words to describe as-yet-unnamed phenomena, and other times we question
current usage. Never fear, none of our discussions involve actually
knowing anything about how words ought to be used, and none of our
newly minted words are likely to ever gain status in popular culture.

ETWTF
How would you explain certain human activities to an extra-terrestrial
visitor? No need to be anxious – just let us do all the thinking
for you. If it leads to Earth’s annihilation, you’ll
know whom to blame.
We discuss Santa Claus to aliens in episode Merry Tedmas.
|
FOODY
GOODY
Food and food-related discussion. We provide tips on food preparation
and speculate on what new confections might be tasty or not-so-tasty
additions to your cookbook, although we have almost certainly never
tried to prepare said suggestions ourselves.
Hear us discuss the difference between muffins and cupcakes in
episode Muffcake.

INVENTIONS
AND SHIT
In this segment we ponder items that the modern world has provided
us, rating existing technology according to its utility and humourousness,
and sometimes suggesting items not yet invented which might be useful
innovations. If any of our ideas become marketable and generate any
amount of money, we will be incredibly surprised and ask for 20% of
the profit in royalties.
|
NATURE
WALK
Our most popular segment, "Nature Walk", is a romp through
the wild. We speculate on all outdoorsy matters, from animal behaviour
to natural disasters. Grab your purse and join us, and you'll be sure
to enjoy this enlightening promenade. Skipping is encouraged.

POLISH
THE BISHOP
Ever wonder at the hidden meaning behind euphemisms? Well wonder
a little longer! We attempt to devise the meanings behind familiar
and new euphemistic expressions, but our guesses are likely to be
so offensive that the euphemizer would be better off talking straight.
We attempt to weaken the far-too-nasty euphemism "the chili
dog" in episode What Does Your Dog Taste Like?
|
POOH
CORNER
In this appropriately titled segment, we take on the big issues.
We have decided that, as global citizens, we need to do our part to
resolve the most important problems facing the world today. With our
collective brainpower focussed on these issues, no problem is too
complex, too difficult, or too bizarre for a lengthy discussion that
probably completely misrepresents the facts. We can't be sure of our
level of misrepresentation though, because we're too lazy to check.

PUNCH
US IN THE MAIL SACK
We read and discuss mail sent in by you, our devoted listener(s).
If you want to participate in this segment, please email us: maskedman@limitedappeal.net.
Hear us discuss an email we received from author Louie Lawent in
episode Interviews with Toast.

SPORTAGE
Feel the rush of adrenaline – this is our fast-paced (well…paced,
anyway) wrap-up of current and topical sports news! Not quite guaranteed
to provide the most insight of any sports team, but sure to present
unusual perspectives on your favourite players, teams, and games.
|
SUPERHERO'S
PHONE BOOTH
Our commentary and suggestions on the perpetual battle between good
and evil, or at least the subsection of that battle that involves
freakish mutants in tights. We invariably determine which superheroes
pass the litmus test of superdom, the ultimate gauge of might: the
probability of defeating a gorilla (or girl) throwing fecal projectiles.
|
URBAN
LEGEND
If Nature Walk is our most popular segment, the Urban Legend is
gaining fast. The segment usually develops as follows: One of us (typically
Warren) advances a ridiculous hypothesis or story. The others are
sceptical and call him a jackass. Warren insists the story is true.
The end. If this doesn’t sound entertaining, even compared to
the rest of the segments, you’re expecting way too much. For
some examples, visit our Urban Legends
page.
