Uncovering the creation (and demise) of 900 numbers, calculating the cost of having a T-Rex as a pet, peeling back the layers of Forky’s character in Toy Story 4, conversing with Jackson Galaxy (the internet’s cat daddy) to find out whether cats really are assholes—these are just a few of the audio stories I’ve had the pleasure of bringing to life.

I’ve had the chance to interview some incredible humans. A few of them include:

Are cats assholes? Could we have domesticated a T-Rex? Is the mafia really that violent? Haven't all the possible songs been written by now? Unexpected gems of knowledge are hidden all around us. Let’s dig them up, one offbeat question at a time.

“There’s nothing like the soft, reassuring voice of an NPR host to make you feel more intelligent, so Doug Fraser is perfect to reveal whether you could domesticate a T-Rex or if celebrities are more interesting than civilians. Particularly useful is his interview with therapist Lori Gottlieb on overcoming tricky childhoods.”

And a whole lotta WTF.

It was an honor to hop onboard one of my favorite podcasts as a guest writer and co-host. Check out the full episode below.

In the late 80s and early 90s, 900 numbers were all the rage. For a couple bucks a minute, you could call and hear from Hulk Hogan and Freddy Kreuger, have a psychic predict your future, and even find true love. In this episode, we dig into the wild world of 900 numbers, and explore why they came about, what made them so appealing, and why they ultimately faded away. Featuring Doug Fraser of the Curious State podcast, 900 number experts Bob Bentz and David Wood, and a surprise guest…
