Join us on our next adventure, our brand-new podcast What’s the Obsession With…? The team here at Basic Stuff Magazine is embarking on a learning journey about all the hows, whens, and whys of our obsessions. Whether it’s worrying about being abducted by aliens or spending hours watching true crime documentaries, we want to know why. Brie, Adri, and the occasional special guest will share their research, personal stories, and totally wacky theories on everything and anything that humans have gotten obsessed with.
Each episode comes with a themed Spotify playlist, our research notes and links, and the occasional drinking game! Subscribe to our Patreon for various extra goodies (like monthly personalized postcards, and picking our next topic).
#001 “…Aliens?”
In this first episode, we ask ourselves, “What’s the obsession with aliens?” Long before that fateful day when something may or may not have crashed in Roswell, New Mexico, people have been theorizing and about who might live up there amongst the stars. Who are they? What do they look like? Will they want to help us or harm us? We’ve spent millennia asking these questions, and our first episode dives right in. So join us while we discuss the relative chill of some countries towards UFOs, how long we’ve been talking about visitors from other planets, and how many times is too many times to watch the blockbuster hit Independence Day (spoiler alert: the limit does not exist).
Have a listen below!
